I'm not convinced

that the ball used to record the final out of a relatively effortless sweep by a team that's won two WS titles in three years is a "historical artifact".

You're right

Either way, I'm not sure why I should care that Papelbon's dog ate something that only really has worth to Papelbon and his teammates.

does it squeak when you squeeze it?

If so, it's about as smart as the real one.

My dog likes to eat baseballs too

I just found one half chewed a couple nights ago. He'll play nice with them for a week or two, then it's "good bye baseball".

Rename your dog "Rizzs"...

My friends dog used to shag golf balls for him when praticed chipping in his back yard. The dog would grab three or four at a time and bring them back to his mat. One day the dog became ill and they took it to the vet where he got X-Rayed. The dog had apparently over time swallowed 13 golf balls which were still in his stomach. He had surgery to remove the golf balls and is doing well now.
