This summer we were in New Hampshire and we had a Dunkin Donuts we went to every day and there was a lifesize cutout of Jonathan Papelbon standing there. There were many many photos taken of all of us with Jonathan Papelbon. The poor locals, sitting and trying to have their coffee … “Oh God, here come those girls again and they’re going to pretend they’re on some red carpet with Papelbon while I am trying to have a quiet donut and coffee …”
Here is Melody cozying up to Pap.
I love it. LOVE IT.
The great thing about the cell phone camera here is its just good enough to get the picture, but just bad enough that the Papelbon cutout looks like a real person at first glance!
All y’all are lucky. Around these parts those were giant cardboard cutouts of Joba Chamberlain. I wanted to walk up to every one of them and properly crease Joba’s cap brim. HATE that flat brim look.
I suppose that soon they’ll be huge cutouts of CC Sabathia all over the place – if they don’t take up too much floor space.
He doesn’t look so intimidating holding an iced coffee, but when he’s staring down from the mound, just barely looking out from under his hat…holy crap! Scarey!
