Jonathan Papelbon is seen here drinking court side at an NBA game. Papelbon is a 4 time All Star for the Boston Red Sox, with 422 strike outs and 188 saves as a closer. He is the first pitcher in history to record 30 saves in each of his first 5 years of MLB service, however, 25 his first 5 seasons would have held that record also so he went above and beyond what was needed. The Red Sox closer position has been given to Daniel Bard and he will be a free agent soon, or could possibly be traded.
