Top ten Red Sox who played in the Cape Cod Baseball League
By Sean Sylver
2003 Topps
Bourne – Kevin Youkilis, 1B/3B
Boston Red Sox, 2004-12
Bourne Braves, 2000
The popular corner infielder and member of two Red Sox World Series championship teams was an All-Star for Bourne during the summer of 2000, hitting .309 on the season. Appropriately, the “Greek God of Walks” also drew 40 free passes in 40 games played. Youk even flashed some speed on the base paths, swiping seven of nine bags and posting three triples on the campaign.
Fellow third baseman and member of the 2004 World Series champs Bill Mueller (‘92) also played for Bourne, as did infielder Lou Merloni (‘91) and outfielder Mark Kotsay (‘94).
