John Papelbon Jersey - The Red Sox New Closer Papelbon

John Papelbon seems to the future of the Red Sox bullpen... and after a 2005 season that required more Tums and Pepto than any person should be allowed to consume... we now have a closer not named Keith Foulke! Papelbon has already picked up 4 saves in the young 2006 season and helped the Red Sox arrive at the league's best record at 6-1. No longer do great performances by Curt Schilling, (now) Josh Beckett, Wakefield and others have to go unrewarded because Foulke prefers playing rec-league softball... now we have 6-4, 25 year old John Papelbon throwing fire from the mound and taking down top offensive teams in 1-2-3 order.

He's made 5 appearances in 2006, collected 4 saves and given up 1 hit. Not bad. Considering that my heart skips beats when Foulke wobbles out to the mound on two knees with less cartiledge than a chicken McNugget, I believe Papelbon will be good for my health... and in exchange for my health, I am looking to add the #58 John Papelbon Jersey to my aresnal of Red Sox gear.

Knowing how excited Boston and Red Sox fans already are about Paps... the #58 Papelbon jersey will be in high demand. Remember fans - Red Sox jerseys are gray for away and white for home... read more below.

John Papelbon Jersey: The Home Jersey (White)
The Home David Ortiz jersey is white with a red stripe down each side of the chest. On the front of the jersey is the Red Sox name in red stitching. The Home Red Sox Jersey looks great -  Note: Player last names do not appear on the home jersey - only the player number!

John Papelbon Jersey: The Away Jersey (Gray)
The Away Jersey is probably the most popular of the Red Sox Jerseys - its gray and has 'BOSTON' stitched across the chest in red print. Unlike the home jersey, the David Ortiz Away jersey has no stripes on the chest but does have double red lining on the sleeves. The gray color holds up nicely over time and withstands washing and wear & tear. Note: player's last names appear on the back of the Away Jersey above the player number.
