[ Biz of Baseball ] Buck O’Neill is still not in the baseball Hall of Fame. [ Yahoo ] Barry Bonds takes a swipe at the Giants. [ Mercury News ] Got a story we should see?

... I don't really understand the entry requirements for this catchphrase, I guess. By the way, it's preseason for the Associated Press as well. Bibby was the goat? No mention of the controversial no-call? John Salmonds? Shareef Abdur-Rahim calls Mike Bibby "the black Larry David." This is much better than similar nicknames for Amare Stoudemire and Gilbert Arenas. Free Darko: book deal. I hear Justin Williams participates in this type of activity as well. KCRA and the local American Red Cross have a pledge ...

Red Sox Monster —
... hours away, I was going to post a thoughtful piece about Curt Schilling's place in Red Sox history, and how tonight's start could be one of the final chapters of his legacy in Boston. Then, uh, I ran into this weird story. And it was about the Red Sox bullpen. And... uh... it involved pictures of naked women at Fenway Park. I'll leave things at that on here, since this may understandably ruffle some feathers. If you feel compelled to hear the whole story, though, you can find it right here . My only other hint is that it involves the photograph at right, which is inscribed ...

Jonathan Papelbon Will Sign Your Ball In Exchange For Nude Photos Of Your Ex-Wife [Jonathan PapelDUAN!]
Deadspin —
... Even if Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon suddenly goes through a horrid Gagne-like implosion, he will never have to worry about losing the hearts of the Fenway faithful. Consider this story, courtesy of Roto-World, as another reason for his deification. The story starts with a group of 40-something drunk-and-rowdies doing their 40-something drunk-and-rowdie thing above the Sox bullpen. One of the most inebriated gentleman (The "Hammer") starts whipping out naked pictures of his ex-wife. And then...: ...
The Perfect Trade
Posterboy Sports with Bill Palmer —
... this morning, who got it courtesy of Roto-World , and I thought about not writing anything because I’m still pretty hungover at work. However, this story was just too good. The scene was Fenway Park and the occasion was a 40th birthday of someone known just as the “Hammer.” It involves a slew of pornographic photos that made their way into the Red Sox bullpen. We’ll let the original writer tell the tale: Last season at Fenway, a funny thing happened in Section 41. About 10 guys were there to celebrate some guy’s 40th birthday party (his name was “Hammer”) as well as another ...

Giving Jonathan Papelbon nude photos of your wife will get you a signed ball
Hail Mary Jane —
... and the “Hammer’s” friend who threw the picture start talking to each other. I cannot hear what was said, but 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”.
Thanks to Roto World for this one.

Jonathan Papelbon
and the Boston Red Sox Bullpen
Papelbon and the rest of the Red Sox bullpen signed this ball in appreciation for some pictures that a fan threw down to the bullpen one night. Pictures of said fan’s naked ex-wife.
The lesson of the story - Never let some Masshole take naked pictures of you. Because they’ll end up hanging in the Red Sox Bullpen.
