Personal Life
Jacoby Ellsbury was raised as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon), but as reported in the Boston Globe in 2008, he and his three brothers stopped attending services when Jacoby was a teenager. He said, "I try not to get Him too involved in baseball. What I wish for is good health."
Ellsbury was one of the victims of the $8 billion fraud perpetrated by wealth manager Allen Stanford; although Ellsbury had some assets frozen, it did not cause him any significant hardship, like those suffered by Johnny Damon and Xavier Nady. Ellsbury revealed on an episode of Red Sox smalltalk that his favorite cartoon was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and his favorite television shows are Gold Rush and Pawn Stars.

“... the precipitate of sorrow is happiness, the precipitate of struggle is success. Life means opportunity, and the thing men call death is the last wonderful, beautiful adventure.”
