There Are No Small Parts. Only Future Bigheaded, Sweaty Baseball Players

While trying to figure out which current members of the Boston Red Sox have taken performance-enhancing drugs, I stumbled across this interesting piece of Wiki-trivia about Kevin "The Greek God of Walks" Youkilis (Ed. Note: he's actually of Romanian and Jewish descent).

As a 14-year-old, little Youk had a cameo in the Melanie Griffin and Ed Harris romantic comedy Milk Money, which was filmed in Youkilis's hometown of Cincinnati, where he presumably dreamed of making it big with fellow Cincinnattian Nick Lachey.   

For your viewing pleasure, I offer you Kevin Youkilis's theatrical debut.


The borderline pubescent Youkilis isn't as ugly or sweaty as he is today, but that face most definitely belongs to the man who last year, seemingly out of nowhere, crushed 29 home runs--or almost twice as many as his previous career high and one less than he hit throughout his entire five-year minor league career, when he was developing his batting eye.
