Dustin Pedroia, Mike Lowell, Jon Lester, Terry Francona, John Farrell, Dave Magadan and Indians GM Mark Shapiro were all on-hand for last night's Boston Baseball Writers' Association Awards dinner- to answer some questions, take some pictures, pick up an award or two and eat some dinner. Yay- an excuse to post pictures!

No shows?
Kevin Youkilis (presumably: trying to invent a better name for his sports energy drink)
Josh Beckett (presumably: killing deer and/or other random small animals)
Jonathan Papelbon (presumably: ??? who the hell could guess).

More pictures of the guys after the jump...
