Day 4 off the offseason is upon us and the biggest news coming out of Red Sox Nation is that the ball from the end of the game is missing. Jason Varitek said he’d give it to the team, then says he gave it to Jonathan Papelbon. Papelbon’s agent says Paps doesn’t have the ball. The other news is that Eric Gagné applied for free agency. No big surprise there at all as he would not have been asked back. Moving forward, let’s take a look at the headlines from the Boston area media on the this first day of November.
