To get that first one is exciting and surreal, and all these different emotions that I'm feeling right now. It's just great to be on a team like this, where you know that no game is ever out of reach.
"Jonathan Robert Papelbon" is an American professional baseball closer (baseball)/pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies of Major League Baseball. He previously was a member of the Boston Red Sox, with whom he reached four consecutive Major League Baseball All-Star Games from 2006 Boston Red Sox season/2006 to 2009 Boston Red Sox season/2009, won the 2007 Major League Baseball Delivery Man Award, and was a 2007 World Series champion. Throughout his career, he has worn uniform number 58, and has been a closer (baseball)/closing pitcher.
After moving from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Papelbon attended high school in Jacksonville, Florida, where he played at Bishop Kenny High School and earned all-city accolades prior to attending Mississippi State Bulldogs baseball/Mississippi State to play college baseball. Subsequently, in 2003, the Boston Red Sox drafted him in the 4th round of the 2003 Major League Baseball Draft, and he played three seasons of minor league baseball before breaking into the major leagues. His effectiveness as a pitcher centers on above-average velocity, and deceptive breaking balls that fool hitters.

He's my idol. Growing up, I watched him pitch. Those are big, big shoes to fill. I know I have a long road ahead and a lot of work ahead of me to get where he's at.
For me, man, it was disappointing to see him go, but at the same time, I wish him all the best in what he does. I know he'll be successful in what he does.
He's an incredible, incredible hitter. He doesn't get any panic. He doesn't get tight. He's just money, man.
Then, come to find out, he's going to be leaving -- that's kind of tough, man.
It's a free shirt. You can't beat it with a stick. I don't have any reason behind wearing it. It's just a free shirt.
Hey, I let my team down tonight. I'll be back out there and I'll pick us up another night. It's a learning experience right now, and hopefully, I can make that learning curve short.
