Youk!

"There have been two games all season in the major leagues, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, in which a team trailing with two outs and no one on base in their last at-bat has rallied to win. On each occasion, the Red Sox were the winners and Youkilis was involved. On April 17, Youkilis beat out a two-out infield hit and scored on Mark Loretta's walkoff home run on Patriots Day against the Mariners. Friday night, Mike Lowell, Jones's teammate a year ago with the Florida Marlins, lined a two-out single and Youkilis, who was still in the minor leagues when Jones was in the Sox bullpen in 2003, followed with a home run."

Very quickly becoming my favorite player. I almost drove off the road on I-91 Friday night when he hit that.

Much as I hate to imagine you nearly driving off the road, Caleb, there must have been cars veering wildly all over New England at that moment. It's a good thing you weren't driving in Boston.
