Cooperstown _ Rather than wait 20 years, the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame Veterans Committee Friday elected future Red Sox superstar Jacoby Ellsbury into the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame.
“We saw no reason to delay the inevitable," committee chairman Peter Gammons explained. "This way, even if Jacoby gets traded to Minnesota, he can still go in wearing a Redsock cap."

Jacoby stunned the world and earned raves from scouts with the season of a lifetime at Triple A Pawtucket, where the centerfielder in 2007 batted .298 with 2 homeruns and a whopping 28 runs batted in!
"With numbers like that, you couldn't keep him out,” said Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig, who also announced that Ellsbury will receive the AL Most Valuable Player Awards for 2010 and 2011. "Basically, when it comes down to him against Barry Bonds, we'll take the handsome Boston whitey any time."
Elsewhere, the Nobel Prize committee was said to be deadlocked as to whether Ellsbury would receive the 2008 Prize for Literature or for Physics.
