DENVER -- The Red Sox donated several items to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown to commemorate their winning the 103rd World Series.
Rookie sensation Jacoby Ellsbury donated the bat he used in Game Three, when he was 4-for-5, with three doubles (two of them in Boston's six-run, third-inning outburst), two RBI and two runs scored.
Manager Terry Francona donated the warm-up pullover he wore throughout the Series.
Jon Lester contributed the cap he wore as the winning pitcher in Game Four, as did third baseman Mike Lowell, the Series MVP.
Daisuke Matsuzaka, the first native-born Japanese player to appear in a World Series, sent the spikes from his winning start in Game Three to the Hall of fame, bullpen ace Jonathan Papelbon donated his glove, catcher and team captain Jason Varitek contributed his road jersey, while rookie second baseman Dustin Pedroia sent along the bat he used to hit his home run in the first inning of Game One at Fenway Park.
