Last week in Detroit, the Red Sox were riding high, they pummeled the Tiger’s pitching, the Sox’ pitching made it impossible for the Tigers to get anything going and right next to the stadium are a couple of casinos for funtimes after the game.
In order to foster some fellow gamblers, Jonathan Papelbon held court out on the warning track before one of the games.
Here is teaching Hideki Okajima and his interpreter the black arts of Craps. Papelbon is apparently a pretty avid gambler, particularly during team poker games on road trips. He reportedly won some serious cash on the Sox’ flight to Japan where some big bucks were flowing over an all-day game. Now he’s taking his role as a leader of the bullpen even further, helping his teammates with their off-field activities too. That’s the sign of a true leader.
After the jump is video of the explanation, watch how enthralled Okajima is to figure it all out, he thought all this time that Papelbon had been talking about the come line he was getting hit on, now he knows!
