MRI discovers beer bottles, license plate in Youkilis’ beard

“One night in the offseason, me and ‘Tek [Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek] went out and had about fifty beers apiece, give or take five or so,” Youkilis admitted to SSNN. “I vaguely remember him daring me to eat a car shortly before I passed out. Ha! I totally forgot about that ’til the docs told me the license plate was in there.”

Regarding his eye, the results of the MRI were negative for any tissue damage. Youkilis was injured during Monday night’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks when a warmup throw from Mike Lowell took an awkward hop off the ground and hit the first baseman directly in the right eye. Youkilis missed the game, but was expected to be back within the week, and the MRI was considered precautionary

Also found in the goatee were a fork, a T-bone steak, a ceiling fan and a Def Leppard CD. “Man, I had been looking for that for over a year,” Youkilis said about the latter.

Youkilis says he will auction off all the items found in his beard, except the Def Leppard CD. The proceeds will go to the Kevin Youkilis Foundation, which supports underprivileged children who cannot grow beards.
