Ellis, a 6th grader from Glen Ellyn, was such a hit at Saturday's question-and-answer session at SoxFest that general manager Ken Williams did more than just invite Ethan to sit with him and Ozzie Guillen during the entertaining session, which was extended about 15 minutes.
Williams was impressed so much by the quick-hitting questions from Ellis that he invited him and his father, Jim, to tour the Sox's front offices during the regular season.
