Spinners host Papelbon twins book signing

LOWELL, MA - The Lowell Spinners, Class A Affiliate of the Boston Red Sox, are hosting a book signing with Joshua Papelbon, the Spinners closer in 2006, and his twin brother Jeremy, brothers of 2007 World Champion Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon, at LeLacheur Park on Thursday, November 29 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Those attending will receive a copy of children's book Pitching with the Papelbons, and the chance to meet the Papelbon twins, get their autograph and pose for photos.

The event costs $25 with five dollars of each purchase will go to the Joann Weber Foundation, a Lowell Spinners charity initiative to better the community.

Pitching with the Papelbons is children's story written by Spinners Vice President of Corporate Communications Jon Goode and his wife Lauren, which chronicles the year in which all three Papelbon hurlers - Jonathan, Joshua and Jeremy - played on the Little League Red Sox and learned an important lesson as they embrace success.

"This is a great opportunity for fans to meet a unique pair of prospects while helping out charity," said Jon Goode. "Spinners fans surely remember Joshua's great season in 2006, and he's looking forward to reconnecting with the Spinners fans."

All three Papelbon pitchers will be appearing at the Lowell Spinners annual Alumni Dinner at the DoubleTree Hotel in Lowell the following night, Friday, November 30. Tickets for the dinner are sold out.
