The White Sox hurried to get Kevin Youkilis the right uniform number, but they missed spelling his name correctly when it was time to fill out the lineup card for his first start.

Youkilis jumped right into the batting order on Monday, his first day with Chicago, batting second. But whoever filled out the official lineup was still unfamiliar enough with the new third baseman that his name came out spelled "Youklis."

Give the White Sox credit, though — they did have a uniform (with the correct spelling) ready for Youkilis, and it was even his usual No. 20. That number had belonged to outfielder Jordan Danks, who was told soon after the trade, "You're not 20 anymore," according to ESPN.

Check out a photo of the lineup mishap below.
