Where He Grips It

Who goes there? How about this guy. Meet Jonathan Papelbon. Closer. Gambler. Hair Afficianado. That's right, he's got a mohawk. Also: 9 Saves....as a rookie playing on the toughest stage in the game: Boston in April. So why the mohawk? Here's what he's saying. But, folks: The swallow may fly south with the sun, or the house maarten or the plummer may seek warmer climes in winter, but these are not strangers to our land! It's a simple question of weight ratios. The less hair, the more aerodynamic, the more speed he can generate. Of course, he does wear a hat when he pitches.

The thing of it is: if it were a fanned mohawk....he couldn't even wear a hat. Talk about dorsal guiding feathers on that fastball.
