It is high, it is far, it is... called back by instant replay: John's first Ellsbury home run call is nullified

For the record, it was a two-tiered, alliterative pun, using both names, but in a reverse sequence, which signifies the fact that Ellsbury has reversed - he now is playing for the Yankees, against his old teammates.

Ells... BURIES one. It's a JACK by Jacoby. 

The wait is over. Now, we simply need a home run call that lasts five minutes.

I already gave you a five minute home run call. "Ellsbury Fields Forever" by John Sterling featuring the Beatles.

I think John's musical sensibilities ended about eight years before the Beatles came.

Well... except for Sammy.

And that fan that interfered needs un correazo.

"Ellsbury Fields Forever" -- that's pretty good.

I'm surprised this guy is 0 for April in the home run department. Hopefully he hasn't lost all his power. I was counting on 20+ homers from him.
