Red Sox already marketing Youkilis' return

Share

The Red Sox marketing department didn't waste any time promoting the return of Kevin Youkilis, who was dealt to the White Sox Sunday after receiving a rousing ovation from the crowd at Fenway Park after being lifted for a pinch-runner. The Red Sox have already put out an advertisement pumping their July 16-19 series against the White Sox in Boston as the return of Youkilis, who spent the first nine seasons of his career with the club.

White Sox fans hoping to celebrate the return of Brent Lillibridge will have to wait until the playoffs or 2013, as the Red Sox are not scheduled to come to U.S. Cellular Field again in 2012.

Boston took three of four from the White Sox in Chicago in late April, with Youkilis belting a grand slam off Philip Humber in the Sox starter's first outing since throwing a perfect game. Youkilis played in Boston's three wins, his final three games before hitting the disabled list for nearly a month with a lower back issue.
