A bit of history gone to the dogs

Jonathan Papelbon claims that his dog, Boss, chewed on the baseball that he used to record the final out of the 2007 World Series and that the ball is pretty much destroyed.
I think Varitek gave it to Papelbon at some point duing the celebration, following the custom that the game ball "belongs" to the pitcher of record (in this case the guy who got the save). Now that I think about it I wonder if Jon Lester should have gotten the ball. Then again, my choice for series MVP was Papelbon, so I guess it was fitting, and even more fitting that his dog made a shambles of the whole thing.
