Jonathan Papelbon
Thanks MonaVie following Baseball's Sweetest Victory

[Boston, MA] – November 2007 – Greetings, MonaVie! 2007 was another great year for me and baseball. Although it's an incredibly busy time, I wanted to personally say thank you for providing me with MonaVie this year.

As a closing pitcher in baseball, I'm always looking to gain a competitive advantage throughout the grueling, eight-month-long baseball season. And I can definitely say that I've noticed the benefits my body receives from MonaVie. In fact, many of my teammates have also made MonaVie a part of their daily regimen, and I think the results speak for themselves.

As I've stated in the past, whether it's the product or the business opportunity, MonaVie is a home run...and it's the only home run I'll allow.

Keep delivering the juice, and I'll do my best to keep delivering baseball titles to Beantown!

—Jonathan Papelbon
