While playing for the Falmouth (Mass.) Commodores of the Cape Cod League last summer, Ellsbury was invited to Boston for a workout with the Red Sox. While at Fenway Park, he picked up a Red Sox cap, which he said he has worn to the ballpark for every Beavers home game this season.
"I'm not superstitious, but it's been my lucky hat," he said. "And at the time, I didn't have a clue that Boston was interested in me. But the draft's a funny thing."
