No one had a better joy ride on the 2004 Boston Red Sox than Kevin Youkilis. He was a 25-year-old infielder wondering how long he would be toiling for the Red Sox in the minor leagues when he was called up on May 15 in Toronto to fill the void left by Bill Muellers trip to the disabled list. He homered in his first game against Toronto righty Pat Hentgen. The eighth-round pick of the Red Sox in 2001 would play in 72 games as a rookie in 2004 hit seven homers and drive in 35 runs. He would even get two plate appearances against the Angels in the 2004 ALDS won by Manny Ramirez on the walk-off homer in Game 3 at Fenway Park. But Youkilis had a seat in the dugout for the ALCS against the Yankees and the World Series against the Cardinals. With 73 games in four months for the Red Sox in his debut season the Greek God of Walks had himself a World Series ring.
Dating from Youkilis World Championship rookie campaign in 2004 this 33.5 inch 31.4 ounce Sam Bat model CDI is uncracked and shows evidence of outstanding use. There are many ball marks and deep ball stitch impressions on the right left back and front barrel and there is a moderate coat of pine tar on the upper handle. Marks include blue/white ball transfers on the right left back and front barrel. Cleat marks are also visible on the left back and right barrel. "Kevin Youkilis" autograph appears on the front barrel in silver pen. Youkilis number (20) appears on the knob and barrel end in silver pen and the weight and length are written in black marker on the knob. The bat has been photomatched.
Includes a LOA from John Taube of PSA/DNA (GU10)
