Boston Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon is now in the Major League Baseball record books, as the first pitcher fined for slow play.
But $1,000 is chump change to someone like Papelbon.
Instead, Bud “Bud” Selig should award a batter a ball for every three second late Papelbon is with a pitch. If he were giving the first batter a start-off 2-0 count, you can bet Manager Terry Francona would fine him more than one grand, too.
