So Long and Good Luck Youk



One last time everyone, those aren't Boos you're hearing, that's "YOOUUKKKK."

So long Youk. You were an asshole, but you were our asshole. A part of two World Series, and impact player for one. When healthy no one got more out of their limited athletic ability. An all out hustler and an OBP force, who some how lived up to the outlandish expectations set forth as a minor leaguer by that asshole Billy Beane and his Moneyball book. He'll definitely be missed but it was also just the right time.

And what a great send off.  Great awareness by the Fenway crowd realizing what they were seeing. Gave me the chills, actually.
