Ellsbury Steals Home!
April 26, 2009
Wow, I just saw something i’ve never seen live before. Jacoby Ellsbury stole home against Andy Pettite and the New York Yankees. It was a straight steal of home, Jackie Robinson style. Ellsbury had a great jump, but his speed is simply unreal. As soon as it becomes available, i’ll post a video of it.
Now, I know that a lot of Yankees fans visit this site and don’t want to read about the feats of a Red Sox player. But regardless of what team you root for, as a baseball fan, you have to appreciate the chutzpah of Ellsbury. A straight steal of home is such a rare occurrence that the Red Sox fans gave Ellsbury a good five minute standing ovation and Ellsbury had to came out of the dugout for a curtain call.
The steal of home was Ellsbury’s second steal of the game. He now has 10 steals on the season and a .293 batting average. Ellsbury’s running like Willie “Mays” Hayes this year and looked poised to improve on last year’s stellar season.
