Big Papi Notches Another Silver Slugger

Big congratulations go out to Big Papi, who collected yet another Silver Slugger Award today- the fourth in a row for him (tying him with Paul Molitor and Edgar Martinez for the most all-time awards for a DH). No DH had ever won the Silver Slugger three times in a row until Papi did it last year- and now he's rolled on to a fourth.

In addition to congrats on the Silver Slugger, I also want to throw a quick "Get Well" to Papi- he successfully underwent knee surgery this week, will start rehab immediately, and should be back and ready to go in spring training.

I also have to shout out my Philly boys Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins- Rollins won a Gold Glove earlier this week, and now added the Silver Slugger to his collection. (MVP! MVP!)

I always liked Paul Molitor because when I was a kid I sent him a baseball card which he signed and sent back.

So thank you, Paul.

I always wanted to try that- but never managed to.

Hell, you can send a card to Pat Neshek right now, and he'll sign it for you... and then blog about it. That ballplayer gets more geeked about baseball cards than most little kids do. (which is kind of cute)
