The top Jersey sales in 2010 are finally in and the Red Sox landed two players in the top 20. Dustin Pedroia and Jacoby Ellsbury landed on this list. Pedroia was number eight on list and Ellsbury’s no. 2 landed 16 on the list.
As far as team sales got the Red Sox finish second to the Yankees in all of baseball.
When ask about how Pedroia feels about being in the top sales he went on to say.
"It's cool," Pedroia said of seeing fans wear his number 15. "When we're playing at home at Fenway it's fun, because it seems like everybody in the whole stadium has one of our jerseys, and we all kind of look up there and see who it is. It just makes it fun."
They ask if he wore a jersey as a kid he replied saying that he had a Barry Bonds jersey. If you have ever read his book Born to Play:My Life in the Game than you would know that the California native was a huge fan of Bonds as a kid.
As for Ellsbury he was a fan of “the kid” Ken Griffey Jr. as all fans of baseball under the age of 30. Everyone grew up wearing Griffey’s jersey with our hat on backwards and so did Jacoby.
Ellsbury was extremely excited to see how many of his jerseys were sold in 2010 granted his injury pledged season.
"It just goes to show I'm blessed to have these great fans that go to the game and support me. It's exciting," he said. "It's always special. Here at Spring Training, just to see all the kids rolling in, wearing all the jerseys, supporting us, cheering, just seeing their excitement. When you step up to the plate and take the field, just seeing someone wearing your jersey is even more special.”
I predict that more players will be named to this list in 2011 with what all the players who were added to the roster.
