Jacoby Ellsbury Makes His Mark

Found August 25, 2009 on Babes Love Baseball: Yardbarker Blogger Network

Jacoby Ellsbury has made Beantown history this evening, becoming the first Boston Red Sox player ever to steal 55 bases in a single season.

The centerfielder doubled and stole third in the first inning against the Chicago White Sox to pass Tommy Harper, who snagged 54 bags back in 1973. This should come as no surprise, since Ellsbury swiped 50 bases last season, when he was still a big league baby.

Let us not forget he was also responsible for giving everyone in the country a free taco during the 2007 World Series. Way to go, buddy!
