• Pet Entertainment Products Incorporated: Boston Red Sox Pitcher's Dog Gets DVDs for Christmas
  TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Dec. 21, 2007) - Some Canadian entrepreneurs are taking measures so that history does not repeat itself at Boston Red Sox pitcher Jonathan Papelbon's house. A piece of history was destroyed there, when Papelbon's dog ate the baseball used to strike out the final batter of the 2007 World Series. Papelbon's dog, Boss, loves to play with baseballs. When the canine spotted the pitcher's coveted collectors item sitting on the counter, it was "game over". The final ball of the 2004 series, Boston's first world title in 86 years, is displayed in the hall of fame. However, Sox catcher Jason Varitek tucked the 2007 ball in his pocket and gave it to Papelbon as a gift.
