Now up, playing center field, Jackson

If you were watching the Red Sox game last night, you saw Jacoby Ellsbury hit it over the bullpen into the bleachers.

Guess who caught the ball in his glove? Jackson, age 10, a AAA baseball player in Natick (pitcher/center fielder).

His father was with him and said it was just unbelievable. Everyone in the bleachers went wild and was high-fiving Jackson.

Dad says this trumps all of his Red Sox memories, including the (first) World Series win.

Everyone who ever brought their glove to Fenway is uplifted by seeing hope fulfilled so dramatically and rightfully by someone with "good glove." Congratulations, Jackson!
