When Kevin Youkilis was traded by the Boston Red Sox on June 24th, he left his last game to a standing ovation at Fenway Park.

The same was true Monday for his return to Boston as the Chicago White Sox f aced the Red Sox.

Boston fans seemed to agree on how they would welcome Youkilis back. The slugger received a standing ovation before the game, and fans around the stadium held up signs welcoming the three-time All-Star back. Before the game, Youkilis talked to his former teammates on the field. Of course, Youkilis was greeted with a hug from always friendly David Ortiz.

Since 2004, Youkilis has been as loved by fans as any Red Sox player. He helped the team win two World Series rings and hit above .300 three times. The love for Youkilis seems to still be there and chances are, he won't have to pay for a meal in the Boston area for quite some time.

"It's exciting to come back to a ballpark I've known as home for a long time," he said. "It's exciting to face some of my teammates that I've only faced in live BP."

In his first at-bat against his former club, Youkilis singled on a ground ball up the middle. He scored later in the first inning. He hit a double in his second at-bat.
