Kevin Youkilis Still Isn’t Verified, Tweets Selfie with Toilet in Protest
It’s been a few years since Kevin Youkilis wore a Red Sox uniform. After Bobby Valentine favored a young Will Middlebrooks over him in 2012, Boston traded the two-time World Series champion to the Chicago White Sox. Youkilis spent 2013 with the New York Yankees before announcing his retirement at age 35 the following year.
Since then, he’s joined his former boss Theo Epstein and teammate Manny Ramirez as a special assistant with the Chicago Cubs. In January, he announced plans to open a brewpub with his brother in California. He’s on Twitter, too, and just a tad salty about the lack of a blue checkmark next to his name. Can you blame him? The man’s a Gold Glove winner.
Since there is no verification check mark yet, I decided to take a pic in my office to show authenticity. #verified pic.twitter.com/Jy6q2XsI6K

Bold strategy, Cotton. Earlier in the day, Youkilis caught up with WBZ’s Dan Roche and agreed to give him the exclusive when the brewpub opens up, with one stipulation.
@RochieWBZ You will have to drink a pint of every beer on tap before you start interviewing. sound good?
