Ensberg, new to the New York area, was apparently frustrated by getting a traffic citation. He wrote the following on a white board in the Yankees' clubhouse:
Contract with Yankees: $1.75 million
Cost of my car: $75,000
Getting a ticket for talking on a cell phone: Priceless
I'm still scratching my head as to why they would tell this story. Theoretically, this is the "color commentary" side of the broadcast and they're trying to help us get to know the player. Kenny thought it was nice that Ensberg had "a sense of humor about it".
I do feel like I know Morgan Ensberg a bit better today than I did yesterday and here is what I know: he is a tool.
But that's not too surprising - what, a professional athlete with an exaggerated sense of privilege and entitlement? I'm shocked - shocked! What's more interesting is that perhaps Kay and Singleton think he's a tool too and wanted to throw him under the bus. All in the name of helping us to get to know the player.
Does that count as a public service announcement?
