My Take

Jonathan Papelbon is one of those closers who made ninth innings genuinely nerve-wracking to watch — but in the best way possible. I grew up seeing him stomp off the mound at Fenway doing that ridiculous Riverdance celebration, and honestly, it fit perfectly: theatrical, a little unhinged, utterly dominant. Four straight All-Star nods, a World Series ring in 2007, and one of the nastiest splitters in the game during his peak — the guy had the stuff to back up every bit of the swagger. His runs with the Phillies and Nationals were bumpier, and his personality definitely rubbed teammates the wrong way more than once, but I've always had a soft spot for pitchers who are completely, unapologetically themselves on the field. Papelbon was exactly that.
