Even though the Papi video tribute didn’t bring back the old Papi (it was a lefty pitching…so a break is called for), a win begets a little more video mojo action. Too bad the Jays are throwing another lefty again tonight.

Stan Grossfeld of the Boston Globe interviewed Keith Foulke in a piece that ran today. I enjoy Grossfeld’s feature pieces — they’re enjoyable to read, and this one is no exception. It’s great to hear from Foulke, and I’ll always consider his 2004 postseason effort unmatched by any reliever.

Foulke lost his closer’s job in 2005 amid injuries. He stuck as a solid middle reliever for the Sox in 2006, then signed with the Cleveland Indians before retiring in spring training due to injuries. He could have stuck it out and collected his money, but chose not to. He then came back with the Athletics last year, again being a solid reliever. No calls occurred this winter, so he’s up in Newark, pitching for an independent team that has Carl Everett at DH.

Let’s take a look at what he had to say.
