My Take
Kevin Youkilis is one of those players who made you a believer through sheer grit rather than highlight-reel flash. Growing up in Cincinnati — baseball's oldest professional city — and grinding through the University of Cincinnati before the Red Sox drafted him in 2001, Youk always felt like a guy who earned every inch of his career the hard way. That absurd pre-swing batting stance, arms fully extended and bat held aloft like he was summoning something, became iconic in Boston; it looked awkward but it worked, because Youk made everything work through discipline and obsessive preparation. A Gold Glove first baseman who could also hold down third, he was a cornerstone of those great Red Sox teams and ended up in the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame — exactly where a player like him belongs.
