The Youk-Fu! The Porn Stache! The whatever-you-want-to-call-it! It’s gone! As seen in the photos on redsox.com he’s all clean shaven. I can’t believe I’m going to miss it. And yet, I feel like he will be able to grow it back in about 72 hours time.

Next up? Shave that thing off Jed Lowrie’s face. I know it probably took months to get it there but seriously, shave it off, kid.

Thank you for sharing this awesome piece of news. I just loved the line….”I’ve been thinking about it (the name for the fuzz on my face), I’m not going to lie.” The Sox may have lost that game, but that was a winner of a lie.

At first, I hated the new look….but (pun intended), it is growing on me. I do like the crazy whole beard look though because it probably means we are playing well into October and winning.

@fc: I'll one up your cute, and say hot. Then again, it's been well documented that I have questionable taste in athletes (see: Brian Urlacher. I know! I know!)

@fc: No, I agree. It's a major improvement. He looks like a dork child with no facial hair at all, and like a billy goat with the chin beard. This is a nice compromise.

My husband and I used to call the big goatee thing his “Troll-beard”.
I did like how he called this phase the “ugliest I’ll ever look”. Priceless!

As they’ve noted on Surviving Grady, the Youk-Fu resembles the porn ’stache of John Holmes. If it catches on, I’ll wonder if MLB hasn’t got a business on the side.
I definitely prefer it to the caveman beard.

Maybe the Youk-Fu will catch on this season. Hopefully not.

@fc: Good old baseball boyfriend addiction. I can so totally relate.

It’s actually starting to look good to me. Cute, even. I must truly have a problem.

“Hi, I’m fc, and I’m a Youkaholic.”

Thanks for the post. And YES I’m still breathing.
