Jonathan Papelbon the New Rocket


Young Red Sox closer, Jon Papelbon, has requested that fans come up with a new song to accompany his entrance from the bullpen. The apparent fan favorite in a contest run in the Boston Herald is "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC, a classic rocker and a safe choice. The test will be whether the 25 year old even knows who AC/DC is. The red-hot Papelbon is quickly becoming a Beantown favorite, with frequent comparisons being made between him and Roger Clemens. I don't think he's quite in the Rocket's realm just yet, but you gotta like his style. If you have to make a choice between taciturn, former closer, Keith Foulke and the fired up Papelboner...it's a no brainer.
Viva Le Red Sox!
