When Big Papi came up with 2 outs and the bases loaded for the Red Sox, I was just hoping to see him come up big so he could snap out of it. You see, Papi is one of the most loved athletes in Boston Sports history. He is always smiling and he always puts on a show. Seeing him struggle has been painful for every Red Sox fan. You knew he would break out of it, but when? And you knew you could not be angry with him or ever even think of Booing him. He means too much to the 2 World Series titles in the last 4 year. So, when the ball cleared the Green Monster last night and Papi finally got to circle the bases last night, it was a sight for sore eyes. Good to see you back Papi!
The other fantastic thing about last night was the fact that 4 of the starters for the Sox last night were drafted by Boston. Youk at 3rd, Lowrie at SS, Peds at 2B and Ellsbury in CF. And they all contributed. The picture up top shows three of them, (Ellsbury, Lowrie and Peds) when they scored on the Papi Slam. Fantastic!
