Update: Ellsbury stole second base in the 10th inning - his 30th of the year -
to set a new Red Sox record! Tris Speaker stole a base in eight straight games in 1913 - which I believe is the Red Sox team record - so Ellsbury has a few games to go.
Most Consecutive Games With At Least One Stolen Base By Red Sox Player (1916-2013)
Harry Hooper 5 games May 30-June 4, 1918 5 SB x CS
Nemo Leibold 5 games August 4-9, 1921 5 SB 0 CS
Ben Chapman 5 games June 17-20, 1937 5 SB 1 CS
Tommy Harper 5 games June 1-8, 1974 5 SB 0 CS
Jacoby Ellsbury 5 games June 13-18, 2009 6 SB 0 CS
Jacoby Ellsbury 5 games June 8-12, 2013 8 SB 0 CS
Ellsbury will have a chance to set a new franchise record tonight in Baltimore.

We have been saying it for years on this blog. Don Orsillo called LBJ a game changer last night. He truly is an exciting player. I still would be surprised if he was a Red Sock next year.
I agree, and I wish he would SHAVE.
We're looking to Orsillo for baseball insight, now? :>)
Caught stealing in the 7th.
Stole 2B in the 10th!!!
