DENVER -- Red Sox rookie Jacoby Ellsbury just hit a pair of doubles in the same inning to become only the second player in World Series history to achieve the feat. Matt Williams did the same on Nov. 3, 2001 for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Anyone have any lingering questions about Coco Crisp now?

I first became interested in Jacoby just because he was the first Navajo in the Major Leagues. Then I saw him play and became a fan of his as a player. He plays all out, he makes great plays, and he can handle major league pitching! I put together a bio of him, using all the many newspaper articles on him as my bibliography, and I've got to start writing another chapter for his World Series exploits!
