I love jacoby ellsbury because he's an epic base stealer (AND SOME EYE CANDY AW YEAH) omg and he can run so fast. he has the most stolen bases of the 2011 season in the red sox by FAR. american league rookie of the month in september 2007, his majors playing started in 2007, and he won a world series trophy in his first year in the majors. he's the first navajo to play in the majors, and that's pretty inspirational to other navajo's, to know that is it possible. in 2007 he had his own homecoming parade in his hometown. madras is proud, and should be. he's a centre field, and didn't fuss when he got pushed over into left field.
2010 was a pretty crappy season for him, but you know what? he's bounced straight back in there in the leadoff spot. he played something like 18 games in 2010, and in the time still managed to become the first player since '98 to steal 4 bases against the yanks in one game. i was lucky enough to see him. i love the fact that his at bat song used to be like, my favourite song. i love the fact that he can steal 7 bases in one game. i love the way at high school he played baseball, football and basketball. i love the way he got drafted by tampa but didn't sign.
in 2008, he led the american league in stolen bases, and in 2009 he led the whole of major league baseball in stolen bases. that boy is beast. i love the way he has fans that adore him, but we don't care he has a girlfriend. we'd all love to date him, sure, but his girlfriend is so lovely and they're an amazing couple.
jacoby mccabe ellsbury, i love you.
i would write more but i'm super tired. and i can't be bothered to think of all of his achievements and teams
