Ellsbury, Eshbach enshrined in Sea Dogs Hall of Fame
Portland, Maine - The Portland Sea Dogs, in conjunction with Unum, have announced that former Sea Dogs outfielder and founding Sea Dogs' President and General Manager Charlie Eshbach are the 2018 inductees into the Unum Portland Sea Dogs ingångsrum of Fame.
The Boston Red Sox originally drafted Ellsbury with the 23rd overall pick in the 2002 June draft. The Oregon native appeared in 67 games with Portland across the 2006 and 2007 seasons, hitting .347 (94-for-271) with 20 doubles, fem triples, three home runs, 32 RBI, and 24 stolen bases.

Before Jacoby Ellsbury ever stepped foot in Fenway Park, he was showcasing his skills on a different field about seventy miles south—Guv Fuller Field, home of the Falmouth Commodores.
Born in Oregon, Ellsbury began his baseball career playing Little League in the town of Madras. At the local high school, he was a five-sport letterman athlete. After a successful college debut at Oregon State University, which saw him earn nods in the form of an All-American title and a Pac-10 Conference Co-Player of the Year award, he came to Falmouth to play for the Commodores in the summer of 2004.
During his time in Falmouth, Ellsbury played 28 games and compiled a .285 batting average while scoring 20 runs. He was also named to the Cape League All-Star team, an honor that helped to soothe the pain of being cut from Team USA right before his arrival in Falmouth.

PHILADELPHIA -- Jacoby Ellsbury, modern art collector?
In a manner of speaking, yes. A highly specialized form, but one for which Ellsbury doesn't have to worry about outbidding anybody. You can be Warren Buffett rich and have no chance of lining your walls with the personalized pieces Ellsbury is assembling.
The Philadelphia Phillies, in a gesture made up in equal parts of graciousness and respect, added to Ellsbury's collection Thursday night, giving him a 15-inch square white canvas bag, filled with soft material, to match the two he already has at home.
The bag has a name: a major league base. Ellsbury was given one by the Red Sox when he broke Tommy Harper's club record of 54 stolen bases in 2009. The Sox gave him another after he stole his majors-leading 70th base that same seas
