Adam Jones

The Orioles centerfielder earns a salute after his two-home run performance powered Baltimore past the Angels last night.

Jones knows how to make friends. A good example, tossing a ball into the stands after catching the last out of the just-ended half-inning. If you or your kids want a unique (and free) souvenir, it pays to sit behind the visitors dugout.

One of the really "good guys" in the majors, Jones is always a good interview subject and has an almost Jeter-like sense of how to honor baseball tradition.

He's also a regular at the BAT Dinner, the annual mid-winter fundraiser than benefits needy former players.

While Nelson Cruz and his home run battle with Jose Abreu have grabbed the headlines, Adam Jones has remained one of the Orioles steadiest performers as they've grabbed the lead in the AL East.
