Red Sox Want Their Baseball. Again!

This gave me a good laugh. Right after the WS ended, Jason Varitek said he would give the baseball, which was in his mitt after Jon Papelbon struck out Seth Smith for the final out, to the team to avoid the controversy of 2004. Somewhere along the line, Varitek changed his mind.

"I already gave it to Pap," Varitek said. "It's out of my hands."

Neither Larry Lucchino nor Red Sox spokesmen immediately returned calls or e-mails seeking comment Wednesday.
