JEWISH BASEBALL NEWS — Kevin Youkilis didn’t just practice fielding bunts during Spring Training. The Boston Red Sox 3B also designed his own MLB t-shirt.
And wouldn’t you know, he included a nod to his Jewish faith on the very front of the tee.
No, not “Dirt Dog.” It’s “L’Chaim,” which we’ve circled in the photo to your right. Youk is one of three Boston players who designed a shirt this season.
“I think the cool thing is everyone puts a little bit of their heritage into it,” he told MLB.com. “We’re all known to be baseball players in Boston, but there’s also a lot more to us than just baseball players.”
MLB.com has priced the shirts at $24.99, plus shipping. But get yours before 11:59 pm on Friday (6/10/2011) and you’ll pay just $19.99, a 20 percent discount.
