Multi-Sport Athletes.

Last year Mike Lowell ran away from the competition and took home the Comcast Sportsnet Golden Paddle Award in somewhat of a landslide. But it's a new year and Mikey couldn't participate because of the wonky hip. Who would be willing to take on Dustin Pedroia in this year's tournament? Who would do it for Mikey? Stepping into the void and attempting to fill the shoes of Mr. Lowell was Jed Lowrie. Sadly, besides having an alternately psychotic/goofy grin, Jed Lowrie must really suck at Ping Pong. He fell to Pedroia in what seemed to be a close game.

The event loses some of it's charm without the wit of Mike Lowell but it's still amusing viewing.
