I like this picture from Sunday’s game. This took place hours before his manager Ozzied and gave him a Valentine on a Boston TV station. Youk normally isn’t thought of us graceful. Matt Taibbi once wrote that he looks like a rhinoceros f&^%$(@& a washing machine, but I think he has a pretty slide. Here is another slide, this one from a nite game:
I think he would’ve been better off if the Sox let Ortiz go and slid Youk back to first base while Gonzo DH’d, but that wasn’t my call.
That is not a pretty slide. Not remotely.
