February 27, 2008 Papelbon attempts to speak Spanish Play video

(NECN) - Our friends at the Cape Cod Times delivered this to us. Boston Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon shot a public service announcement in Spanish recently, and apparently, his tutoring by teammate Julian Tavarez was not a big help.

Papelbon kept his sense of humor -- and kept trying. Fortunately, he gets the chance to put his focus back on pitching this week, with Boston kicking off its spring training schedule on Thursday.
