Ode to Jacoby Ellsbury
Ode to Jacoby Ellsbury
by: Big Pupi
It’s time for an ode to the man named Jacoby
Who runs faster than Flash, which is made by Adobe
He should be an All-Star, just like Fukudome
He won me a taco, that’s why he’s my homey.
He steals bases like a thief in a bandana,
Faster than a gazelle from the African savanna
Robbing the Rays down at Tropicana-
I’m glad we didn’t trade him for Johan Santana.
Part Native-American from the Pacific Northwest
Since coming to the Bigs he’s really progressed.
And in the 2007 Playoffs he passed the test-
Now all the ladies want to show him their chests.
He worked hard all winter and put on some weight
Spending some time in the Beaver State
I want to put “JACOBY” on my license plate,
Man do I savor that taco I ate.
So here’s to Jacoby, the future of the Sox
He’s faster and sleeker than an Arctic fox
Stronger and works harder than a farming ox,
And one day we’ll see him on a Wheaties’ box.

Sweet Caroline!
I can’t believe this most awesome Ode To Jacoby hasn’t been pawed over about a zillion times. Where is everyone?
Seriously, J.El is as beloved as Mike “Sarge” Lowell.
He’s due at the bat. I’ve heard that he has trouble with breaking balls (ouch!!!) but he’ll be fine. What a fielder!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Jacoby too even though his tail doesn’t stream out behind him when he runs fast like mine does when I am doing sixty.
And I’m very thankful that Fukodome is on Cubs rather than on the Red Sox. I hope we can stick with Matsuzaka and Okajima, and let Chicago take all the flak thinking up nicknames for him.

Finally a tribute to this awesome rookie – he already has a WS ring though he is just a rookie this season!! I’d like to add this stanza –
He runs like a cheetah, dives for balls like a seal
He plays the game with a passion that’s real
Thank you Jacoby for your fiery spirit
Red Sox Animal Nation, for Jacoby, let’s hear it!!

I’m not a Sox fan but that’s a great poem. Hilarious. Ya know, at the FanFest Taco Bell was giving out free Tacos. There was a pretty long line but you could’ve snuck ahead
