I got this shirt, my only gray Red Sox t-shirt (referencing the gray jerseys players wear on the road) only a few months before losing it, along with an entire load of laundry that I left behind at a Somerville laundromat in November 2009. I got a replacement at a Blue Jays v. Red Sox game in May 2010, but got the wrong size. On August 6, 2010, Youkilis had season-ending surgery to repair a torn muscle in his right thumb, devastating “Red Sox Nation” as well as my fantasy baseball team, the “Inglorious Goatees.” Youkilis is my favorite player.
