Kevin Youkilis Shaves it Off

Red Sox first baseman Kevin Youkilis has bid adieu to the bristling goatee that threatened to ensnare the entire Colorado Rockies team in its gnarly clutches during the World Series.

“Sox first baseman Kevin Youkilis shaved off his famed goatee at the Cask ‘n Flagon yesterday, collecting $5,000 from Gillette for his Hits for Kids charity. But the close shave was no quick shave. With the lights from more than a dozen TV cameras shined on and a throng of media and fans cheered, the Golden Glove-winning good guy first had his facial hair trimmed. For a few moments yesterday afternoon, the slugger was sporting only a moustache before he showed off his clean-shaven face.”

While we’d much rather see brave souls growing facial hair for cold, hard cash, I guess raising money for the children is a noble enough endeavo. Bravo, Kevin Youkilis, bravo.
