Youkilis: "I'll always be a Red Sock" ... "I'm proud to be a Yankee."

[Auggie]

TAMPA, Fla. -- After saying "I'll always be a Red Sock" on Thursday, Kevin Youkilis has an updated message to Yankees fans: My bad.

"The one comment alone looks bad," a smiling Youkilis said early Friday morning outside the team's clubhouse. "Let's be honest, I mean, the comment by itself looks terrible, but that was not what it was meant to be."

Youkilis said after eight-and-a-half seasons in Boston, he can't just erase that from his memory bank, but he and his family could not be more excited about living in New York and experiencing life in the Bronx.

"I'm a Yankee today and I'm excited," Youkilis said. "I'm proud to be a Yankee."
