Dear Mr. Papelbon Sir,

Sir, you almost gave me a heart attack last night when you loaded the bases in the bottom of the ninth inning with 2 outs with the batter at full count (aren't you impressed with my baseball know-how?). I will admit that it was a BEAUTIFUL strike out to end the game and luckily my screams of delight didn't wake up my sleeping children (I kept mine to an excited scream much like the one that you gave . . . minus the expletives that I could read coming from your mouth following said scream).


I really am okay with you just striking the batters out minus all of the suspense, so if you just want to strike them out in your next game, that would be okay with me!


From Your Biggest Fan
