It's a tradition amongst baseball players that's as old as the game itself. When a player is going through some struggles at the plate he needs to do something to get out of his slump. One of the more popular method of breaking out of those slumps, at least for the single players, is to get to know a less than attractive female biblically.

It's like hitting a home run when you're team is down 15-2, and it's called a slumpbuster.

Well, Boston's most famous goatee, Kevin Youkilis, has agreed to be the lead spokesman for a new energy drink that hopes to achieve the same thing for baseball players and fans alike.

Red Sox Gold Glove first baseman Kevin Youkilis has teamed up with California based MBSB Holdings, LLC to produce a new energy drink geared towards sports fans and athletes. SlumpBuster, a term widely recognized by athletes and fans, will be launched in the 1st quarter of '08 with hopes of being the official energy drink of locker rooms and stadium concession stands worldwide.

Under the terms of the partnership, Youkilis will serve as lead spokesperson for the product . In addition, MBSB is currently working with Youk in developing "Youk's Signature" SlumpBuster. The special edition can will be rolled out in the Northeast and Midwest., with a portion of the proceeds from "Youk's Signature" being donated to Kevin Youkilis Hits for Kids, Kevin's charity.
