World Series Ball Found

That's the good news.  And given that it went missing for a while, that is good news.  Sadly, however, there is also some bad news.  The thing is, what happened to it is proof that you can't make some stuff up, and that truth really is stranger than fiction.  Because the truth is that Papelbon's dog ate it:

Re: World Series Ball Found
Papelbon is fast becoming one of the most colorful figures in Red Sox history.  The guy is a sitcom character.

Re: World Series Ball Found
Maybe we should re-nickname him "Kramer"?

Re: World Series Ball Found

Cute story

Re: World Series Ball Found

Papelbon's antics are annoying me. I just don't find him funny. He is a great pitcher for the Sox but his off the field stuff irks my nerves.
