Description

     A Kevin Youkilis Boston Red Sox authentic home jersey, signed by the first baseman. This quick drying jersey is made of resilient polyester for a comfortable feel on and off the field. The jersey is decorated in the team colors with a button-front design, and displays the tackle twill team name across the chest and Youkilis's number 20 on the back with his signature.
      Kevin Youkilis gained national recognition when Oakland general manager Billy Beane dubbed him the Greek God of Walks in Michael Lewis' bestselling book "Moneyball" in 2003.  Youkilis, who was then considered one of the top young players in the Red Sox organization, was called up to the team's major league on May 15, 2004 and that day became the seventh player in Red Sox history to hit a home run in his first big league game. Named AL Rookie of the Month in May 2004 despite playing only half the month, Youkilis helped the Boston Red Sox win their historic World Series that year.  Currently, Youkilis has been one of Boston's most consistent hitters this season and the team has great expectations for this dynamic player.
