My Dog ate the Ball

If its true, it'shillarious. But I tend to think that ball is hidden away safely in a safety deposit box.

"The confusion over the fate of the baseball from the final out of the 2007 World Series is apparently over, courtesy of one of the oldest excuses in the book.

Boston Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon said his dog ate the ball, the Hattiesburg (Md.) American newspaper reported.

Boss, the dog, didn't eat the whole thing, the newspaper reported. Just most of

"My dog ate it," Papelbon said, the Hattiesburgh-American reported. "He plays with baseballs like they are his toys. ... He jumped up one day on the counter and snatched it. He likes rawhide. He tore that thing to pieces.

"I'll keep what's left of it."

Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek had given Papelbon the ball after the closer got the final out of Game 4 of the World Series against the Colorado Rockies, completing a sweep that gave Boston its second title in three seasons.

Papelbon's agent had said later that his client didn't have the ball. The confusion was reminiscent of 2004, when the Red Sox and first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz argued over the fate of the final ball from that World Series finale.

That dispute was resolved when the sides agreed to send the ball to the Hall of Fame."

He probably stashed it next to the roids and HGH.EmoPWNS

roid and hgh! HAHAHA.

Pap has never played proffessional baseball during the era of no testing. He made his MLB debut in July 31st 2005. They started testing in 2004 (2003 was the anonymous testing to see how many failed).

He's 27 years old, why on earthwouldyou think he used HGH a REHABILITATION drug. HGH doesn't make you bigger or faster or stronger, it just helps healing.

Either you don't know anything about baseball and what hgh is or you just hate the sox.

Probably not. People will say anything to make them feel better about losing.

Anyway, there's no way he's telling the truth. He's got the ball hidden somewhere, and I'm honestly offended that he thinks the American public is dumb enough to buy such a lame excuse. Please come up with something better next time, Pap.

He might have been joking around. Words typed onto a piece of paper don't relay the sound of their voice and facial features. The reporter who wrote the story might have just printed his words and left out the smile and laugh in his voice to get his name on the TV.
