Jason Varitek Hangs Up Spikes

Jason Varitek made it official last night that the uniform he wore for 14 years is officially off for good. Tek expects to stay with the team in a coaching or consulting role.

They say that catcher's gear are the tools of ignorance. However, any player or coach will tell you that a catcher runs the team. You won't find a good team, or a winning team, without a good catcher. And Varitek was a very good catcher for the Red Sox, leading them to many post-season appearances & 2 World Series wins.

Good for Tek for retiring like his teammate Tim Wakefield. It's time for the new kids to have their turn.
