Youkilis: ‘I’ve always wanted to pitch’

With the help of my friend Ian over at Sox & Dawgs, I found out that Kevin Youkilis told Peter Gammons and Tom Caron (NESN broadcasters) that he has always wanted to pitch.

He said he could always play any position in the infield, he’d try and stay away from the outfield, and he always wanted to pitch.

Why am I posting this? Because I want everyone to chant “Bring in Youk!” when the Yankees are up 18-5 in the ninth inning of Opening Day.

He probably wants to pitch because he saw how much love Nick Swisher got when he pitched last April.
