Jacoby Ellsbury does Oregon proud.

Boston Red Sox rookie Jacoby Ellsbury, of Madras Oregon and drafted out of Oregon State University, tonight became the first rookie in 61 years of MLB history to get four hits in a World Series game. The last rookie to get four hits in a Series game was the great Joe Garagiola in 1946. Ellsbury batted two runners in and scored twice himself. Very impressive for a rookie!

I'm not a Red Sox fan. Heck, I'm not really much of a baseball fan except for the playoffs. The regular season just goes on and on and on far too long to keep my interest. But I love the playoffs and must say that I've really enjoyed watching Ellsbury play. I didn't even realize that he's an Oregonian at first.
