Jacoby Ellsbury: The Great Interferer

Today, the chaste, Ward Cleaver-worshipping

lords of MLB no longer must feel embarrassed at the notion of the foul Pete Rose - gambler, accused grabber of a 17-year-old and serial coot - standing atop the all-time record for Catchers' Interferences.

With his 30th Catcher Inference this week, Jacoby Ellsbury has replaced Rose and assumed the mantle of "Mr. Catcher Interference," making him the greatest interferer of catchers the game has known. 

Nobody ever catcher-interfered better than Ellsbury. He stands atop the pantheon of catcher-interferers, and catchers for the Twins, Indians and Astros had better watch out in the post-season, or they will find themselves ensnared by his amazing skill. I predict Ellsbury's eventual record - he's not done interfering yet; oh, no, not by far - will stand forever.

When it's finally over - his seven year contract, that is - the Yankees should build a statue in Monument Park, showing Ellsbury erect, proud and interfered with - a catcher crouched behind him, touching his bat. When he goes into Cooperstown, a gaggle of catchers should cheer, knowing that - without them - it could not have happened.

Congratulations to Jacoby Ellsbury, "the scourge of catchers."

Jacoby is tearing up the league the past month. Good to see. Wish he had done this for the past few years.

how come catchers are always picking on our man, Jacoby? what did he do to them? does he have some special talent for driving them crazy so they try to grab his bat? Investigative journalists need to get to the bottom of this.
