Even though most [all] of us hate the Red Sox, I think that everoyne appreciates how good Papsmear is. Or not. But either way he's a great pitcher and apparently he has a good sense of humor. Don't try this at Safeco.

How to get an autograph from Paps:

1. Take naked pictures of wife.

2. Bring them to Fenway to show your friends.

3. Throw said pictures into the bullpen.

4. Autographs!!!

...during the next half-inning break, Papelbon emerges. The section goes nuts again and this time Papelbon signals to the "Hammer" to get ready to catch a pitch, and he throws a baseball to the "Hammer". It was signed by the entire Red Sox bullpen, and they wrote "Thanks for the bullpen pics".
