Sons of Kevin Youkilis?

The Boston Globe suggests that after Kevin Youkilis' impressive major league debut last night, Tim Wakefield should consider naming his newborn son 'Kevin' (Kevin Bronson, for that matter, given Arroyo's ace-like performance on the mound).

Youkilis could become a folk hero in this town... with nicknames like "The Greek God" or "Atlas", perhaps. And who knows - maybe the next 'Sons of Sam Horn' will be 'Sons of Kevin Youkilis', after all Youkilis became the first Sox player to homer in his major league debut since Sam Horn July 25, 1987. You heard it here first!
