Youkilis was the history-maker, surpassing Steve Garvey and setting a Major League record by playing consecutive game No. 194 at first base without an error.
That first-base bag, which the Oakland grounds crew was more than happy to unhinge, will find a prominent place in the Youkilis household. The baseball that Youkilis gloved for out No. 27 on Wednesday? That is going to the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y.

Meanwhile, Red Sox clubhouse manager Joe Cochran tucked away the lineup card and put it in a traveling storage cabinet for safe keeping. "I thank the Oakland A's for giving me the base just as a memory to keep around the house and something cool to have in the collection," said Youkilis. "It's a great thing just to have that to put in the house, put it on display. It's an achievement that you never set out to do, but it happened, and it's great to have."
