Youkilis Curtain Call Last At Bat (Video)



The Chicago White Sox acquired Youkilis on Sunday in a trade with Boston in exchange for another utilityman Brent Lillibridge and right-hander Zach Stewart. But the three-time All-Star didn't pack his bags before getting an emotional farewell from Red Sox fans who cheered him for eight seasons.

After being held out of the lineup for the previous four games by manager Bobby Valentine, Youkilis started against the visiting Atlanta Braves on Sunday. The 33-year-old got a standing ovation before his first at-bat, in which he reached on an infield single to the pitcher. In his last at-bat in a Red Sox uniform, Youkilis legged out a triple. He was then taken out of the game for Nick Punto and was given an even bigger standing ovation.
