Jacoby Ellsbury on hall of fame ballot

Ellsbury helped the Red Sox win their second championship in seven years in 2013. He signed a seven-year $153 million contract with the Yankees, but he never lived up to his potential. Baseball writers believe he has little chance of being inducted into the Hall of Fame. He made one all-star game and was injured a lot during his career. The best chance for a first-time nomination is Carlos Beltran. Ellsberry is the first Native American of Navajo descent to play Major League Baseball. In 2017, he did it for the 30th time, surpassing Pete Rose's total of 29.
