Metrosexuals love Jacoby



I don't know if it's in additional to the photo shoot for GQ or if the guy from the Oregon Sports Awards who said that Jacoby was doing a shoot for them was mistaken but tomorrow's Men's Vogue magazine will feature our own Mr. Ellsbury. For the pictures you'll have to wait until tomorrow but the text of the article is ready for your perusal.


Some adorable bits:


Regarding trying to steal a base:



"...which blacks out the ballpark as soon as he bolts for second base. "I don't hear anything. I'm just thinking, 'Get there, get there, they don't have a shot,'?" he says. "In the postseason, I ran faster than I've ever run before. I'm just"—he raises his arms and simulates a very powerful robot running—"choo-choo-choo-choo. And once I slide, that's when I hear the crowd and know that I've made it, when you hear that roar."


-I'm picturing him pretending like he's the Bionic Man, except fast.


Regarding what he does for fun:



"We never really talk about baseball," says Ellsbury. "That's a time to just relax....One night might be cool for karaoke, the next night might be just chillin'. Each night kind of flows." (Under duress, he reluctantly confesses that his clutch karaoke tune is "You've Lost that Lovin' Feelin'.")


-Karaoke? Seriously? I desperately want to hear this boy sing. I don't know which I want to hear more the Navajo song that his mom says he will sing on request or The Righteous Brothers but I definately want to hear him sing.
