It didn't take him long to set the club's rookie stolen-base record on Sunday. Ellsbury slapped a single to left field in the first inning and stole second base on the first pitch from Homer Bailey to Dustin Pedroia, giving Ellsbury 32 steals, one more than Amby McConnell had in 1908. "It's pretty neat, a 100-year-old record with the Red Sox, the tradition, to break a record like that is pretty special," said Ellsbury after the Red Sox's 9-0 victory over the Reds. Showing he wasn't about to sit on the total, the 24-year-old speedster took off for third and made it easily, giving him a Major League-best 33. Ellsbury scored the first Red Sox run on Pedroia's sacrifice fly to right. "His legs come into play, steal second, steal third," Red Sox manager Terry Francona said. "He's a smart baserunner, an aggressive baserunner and he changes the game. The things that bother us, he's doing that to other teams." Asked if he has his sights on passing Tommy Harper's club mark of 54 set in 1973 and making a run at 60, Ellsbury was hopeful. "Sixty? I hope I get 60," Ellsbury said. "It just depends on the situations. I let the game dictate what's going to happen. The numbers, I let them pile up, and at the end of the year, I look at them and look at them from there." With the two successful attempts, Ellsbury improved to 33-for -36 on the season. "I try to get as many as I can, but with stealing bases, you have to get on base. And the reason you steal bases is to get in scoring position and score runs," Ellsbury said. "They have a lot more trust in me. You have to earn the trust and show them you can make the right decisions and steal at a high success rate. I could steal more bases, no question, but we want to make them quality attempts." ============================================================== Jacoby Ellsbury 被認為是紅襪隊速度最快的球員。這星期天沒有花 了他太多時間就創造了菜鳥單季盜壘數的新紀錄。 Ellsbury 一局上擊出左外野方向的一壘安打並且在Homer Bailey 投 向 Dustin Pedroia 的第一球就盜上二壘，Ellsbury 的第32次，比 1908年的Amby McConnell 多出一次。 Ellsbury在紅襪隊9比0贏了紅人隊在賽後說：『這數字是一個紅襪隊 的百年紀錄，傳統思想裡突破了像這樣的一個紀錄真是別句意義』 他不將這總數看在眼裡，這位24歲的跑者輕輕鬆鬆又跑上三壘，領先 全聯盟的33次。Pedroia 打向右外野的高飛犧牲打之下Ellsbury得到紅 襪的第一分。 紅襪隊總教練Terry Francona說：『他的腿開始起作用，盜二壘，盜 三壘。他是個精明的跑壘員，積極的的跑壘員，他在改變比賽。被這樣 盜壘也困擾著我們，而他正在對其他球隊作這件事。』 要問到他是否可以超越Tommy Harper在1973的54次盜壘甚至60次盜壘 ，Ellsbury看來很有希望。 『60？我希望我能60次』Ellsbury說：『它只取決於情勢，我支配著 比賽將要發生些什麼，我累積著這數目，並且到年底時我會看著它們』 由於兩次成功的嘗試盜壘，Ellsbury本季嘗試盜壘36次完成了33次。 『我儘可能多努力盜壘，但是由於盜壘你必須要先上壘』 Ellsbury說：『他們對我非常信任，你必須贏得信任並且展現正確的盜 壘決定以及高盜壘成功率。我可以盜很多壘沒有問題，但是我們要做有 意義的盜壘嘗試』 ================================================================ http://tinyurl.com/48hhcq 24歲的Elllsbury也在第三局擊出No.5全壘打。 美聯新人紀錄是克里夫蘭的Kenny Lofton在1992年的66盜壘。 MLB新人盜壘紀錄是紅雀隊的Vince Coleman在1985年所創下的110次。 自從1912年24歲的Tris Speaker的52次盜壘之後，Ellsbury的33次盜壘 是紅襪球員中25歲以下的最多次的。 --
