Kevin Youkilis, who is playing third base and batting second for the White Sox in Minnesota, took the high road when asked by reporters before the game about his relationship with Bobby Valentine.
"I'm not going to discuss that. We're past that, I'm here and that's that. We're just leaving it behind," he said.
Youkilis called his exit from Sunday's game, when he was lifted for a pinch-runner after a triple and took a curtain call at Fenway Park, "probably the most emotional thing I've ever gone through on a baseball field."
"It was definitely very surreal, and hit me like a ton of bricks when I got pinch-ran for," Youkilis said. "It was a great send-off. The Red Sox fans were unbelievable. They've always been unbelievable to me. I can't thank them enough for all the great years I had there, how they treated my family and friends. A lot of great memories."
Thank YOU Kevin.
