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.
