The Resume

    (November 23, 1980- )
    Born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana
    Pitcher for the Boston Red Sox (2005-2011) and Philadelphia Phillies
    Attended Mississippi State University

Why he might be annoying:

    He poured beer on the American League trophy, smoked a cigar on the mound, and did a goofy Irish jig to a Dropkick Murphys song after the Sox won the AL title (2007).
    He lost a bet with Kevin Youkilis and was forced to sport a mohawk haircut.
    He gets into scuffles with his brothers whenever they play board games.
    Fans of his are said to have a 'Papel-boner.'
    He claimed his dog chewed up the ball used for the final out of the 2007 World Series.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He has an intimidating stare and an extremely quick fastball.
    He waited to enter the pros for one year since he wanted a chance to pitch in the College World Series with Mississippi State.
    Though doctors said it was more healthy for him to be a starter, he preferred being a closer since he felt he was better at it.
    He was the first Red Sox pitcher to record two 30-save seasons.
    He threw the game-winning strikeout for the Red Sox 2007 World Series victory.
    The Red Sox said it was not a big deal that the ball was mutilated.
