Submariner of the Future?

Joshua Papelbon
You might already know that I’m a fan of sidearm & submarine pitchers. Yesterday Jill & I took Amelia to Fenway Park (for her first time) to see “Futures at Fenway”: a doubleheader of Sox minor league teams Lowell Spinners and Pawtucket Red Sox.

We only stayed for the Spinners game (who won 3-1), but it was cool to see (a) Jonathan Papelbon’s younger brother Joshua close out the game with a 1-2-3 ninth inning for the save, and (b) that Joshua is a submariner. Check the photo of him above: people’s arms just shouldn’t bend that way. Anyway, I’ll dig it if he makes it to the Red Sox someday.
