To try and keep the All-Star game relevant, Major League Baseball has made the outcome of the game the determining factor for which league gets home-field advantage in the World Series. The problem is, the fans are not putting the best representatives of each league on the field.

In 24 save opportunities, Jonathan Papelbon has converted 23 successfully. Teams are finally starting to take notice of the best young arm in baseball, and it isn't just because of his numbers. With his winning attitude, gutsy pitching style, and wicked arsenal, Papelbon is growing into one of the best closers in the game.
