Introducing My New Crush
Jacoby Ellsbury! I've heard his name tossed around for a while now, but I have to admit, I decided to do my research on him because I saw him in last night's game and I thought he was cute.
Nonetheless, what I found out really impressed me. My girl instincts have really worked out for me. Last time it was Grady (who, by the way, is amazing) that I researched because of his cuteness. I'm thinking maybe there's some kind of connection. (Just kidding, of course, I know looks have nothing to do with it and plenty of my baseball loves are not quite so genetically gifted).
So anyways, Ellsbury was born in Oregon in 1983, which makes him 23 (hey, only 8 years older than me... it could work.) In high school he lettered and excelled in five sports (How is that even possible? There's only three seasons. He's amazing.) He went to Oregon State University and was drafted 23rd overall by Boston in 2005. He has frequently been compared to Johnny Damon, baseball-wise (As a player that's great. As a traitor, not so much.) He's an extremely fast runner with great baserunning ability, and is projected to be a leadoff hitter because he's very good at getting himself on base. Though he has the arm and ability to play any outfield position, the Sox are planning to use him in center, as early as 2008. And according to soxprospects.com, he lives to play baseball.
He's still learning. I don't expect to see him this season. But when he does break into the big leagues, expect him to make an impact. And expect me to be very, very happy.
Isn't baseball great?

He is cute isn't he. He was honored at one of the sox games last year and I was like wow he's cute. Plus he's got tons of potential. He basically owns.
and 5 sports? how do you do that!?

♥Jacoby is amazing and trust me, he has no clue how stinking cute he is. I work at Oregon State and have been following him since his junior year here when he lead our baseball team to nationals. I also have a daughter your age who wishes Jacoby was her dad because he is so beautiful. We do joke that he is the father of all my children although he is way too young ... obviously, only 8 years older than you. I have some pictures on flickr.com and in my blogs on myspace - not to mention the collage of pictures I have up in my office. If you want to see more let me know! This guy is hot and bound to be a huge sensation. Thanks for sharing your crush - excellent choice!♥

I saw him play in the Cape League where he played for Falmouth. Luckily my Y-D Red Sox beat Falmouth for the championship game! Still, he's a great player and I can't wait to watch him move up the ranks.
