Kevin Youkilis

Kevin Edmund Youkilis, also known as "Youk" /ˈjuːk/, is an American professional baseball third baseman and first baseman who currently plays for the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles of Nippon Professional Baseball's Pacific League. A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, he was drafted by the Boston Red Sox in 2001, after playing college baseball at the University of Cincinnati. He has also played for the Chicago White Sox and New York Yankees. Known for his ability to get on base, while he was still a minor leaguer Youkilis was nicknamed "Euclis: The Greek God of Walks" in the best-selling book, Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game. A Gold Glove Award-winning first baseman, he once held baseball's record for most consecutive errorless games at first base. He is also a three-time MLB All-Star, two-time World Series Champion, and winner of the 2008 Hank Aaron Award. An intense performer on the playing field, Youkilis is known for his scrappiness, grittiness, dirt-stained jerseys, home-plate collisions, and his strange batting stance. He has excelled despite a physique that led many observers to underestimate his athletic ability.
