From the Sea Dogs to the Phillies, a Papelbon fan for life
Decked out in Red Sox gear, Jonathan Papelbon’s biggest fan stuck out during Sunday's Phillies-Astros game at Minute Maid Park.
Joe LaStoria and his family -- avid Red Sox fans -- have followed the All-Star closer since his time with the Portland Sea Dogs, Boston's Double-A affiliate.
But why the obsession with Papelbon? It's simple:
“After a strikeout, I love the little arm thing he does --- the fist pump," LaStoria said. "I also love his control. He's consistent."
