 Youkilis shaves his beard for charity
BOSTON -- As routes to stardom go, Kevin Youkilis took a different tack. His hirsute forebear, Johnny Damon, was as much defined by his carefree streak as by his long locks. Youkilis had little of either in 2007, sporting a shiny dome and a famous seriousness on the field. But "Youk," as his fans and teammates call him, took a full page from the Johnny Damon book of tricks on Tuesday evening ... [link]

For some reason, the Gillette company donated $5,000 to the “Kevin Youkilis Hits for Kids” foundation in exchange for the Gold Glover’s facial hair. Before the shaving was complete, a fan suggested they leave only a “Boogie Nights -style” ’stache. Youkilis’ wife, Enza Sambataro, agreed — but “Just for a picture.” MLB.com writer Alex McPhillips opined ...

... . Enjoys long walks on the beach, 12-pitch at-bats and tiring the bejeezus out of the opposition's postseason pitching. One thing he doesn't like, though, is shaving. At least not usually, given the way his goatee evolved into an apparent habitat for small rodents during the 2007 season. Last night, Youk took care of that, shaving the squirrel's nest off at the Cask 'n Flagon for his new, creatively named charity, "Kevin Youkilis Hits for Kids." Gillette, the best a first baseman can get, donated $5,000 for the deed. A look at the action, thanks to the wonderment of AP ...

... People of Boston: So insatiable is our hunger for all things Red Sox that the simple act of our first baseman gettin' a shave for charity had people packed around the Cask last night, with live simulcasts being projected on big-ass TV screens out in the street. It is sick and glorious all at once, and the only reason I didn't show up myself is that my boss had me chained to a stack of ad copy needing rewrites (code for: "I was watching porno.") ...

Youkilis bids farewell to facial hair
Published 11/14/2007 by Beau Dure at Sports Scope
Sounds like it took a while, but Red Sox first baseman Kevin Youkilis is clean-shaven today. He and a couple of stylists removed his goatee, temporarily leaving a moustache. After a couple of pictures, the moustache was gone, too. In exchange for enough hair to make a few cats, Gillette donated $5,000 to Youkilis' charity for children. Get a couple of "before" photos at the Yooooouuuuukkkkk ...
