Jacoby Ellsbury played entirely in the American League elite where he played mostly with the Boston Red Sox and later for the New York Yankees.  Ellsbury first came up in the 2007 season when he was called up in June of 2007 and would make the starting lineup and would help the Red Sox win the World Series where he batted .438. 

He would remain a solid presence in the Red Sox lineup where in 2008 and 2009 he would lead the American League in Stolen Bases but it was in 2011 where he had the season of his life with career highs in Hits (212), Hone Runs (32), Runs Batted In (105), Batting Average (.321) and Slugging (.552) and he was named an All-Star, Silver Slugger, a Gold Glove winner and was the runner-up for the American League MVP.  Ellsbury never came close to a year like that again but he did win a second World Series with Boston in 2013 before finishing up with the New York Yankees for three years before injuries forced him out.
