A Nice Young Man.

Jacoby Ellsbury has the reputation for being a nice young man. He's a little bit vain but "quiet", "considerate", and "polite" are the words most often used to describe him. Case in point: Mike Reiss is temporarily covering the Sox for ESPN Boston while Joe McDonald is off writing about the Bruins. A football guy, Reiss wrote a blog post about how much more access to players baseball writers have than football writers. At the end of piece he relates the story of how he introduced himself to the players before the game against the Marlins and his explained his deal. As Reiss was leaving after the game, the oh-so-polite Ellsbury made a point of asking him how his first day went. Awww.
