First Wake, now Tek! Jason Varitek is expected to announce his retirement on Thursday. The longtime captain who has never been on any other team than the Red Sox, had a great tenure with the team. He won two World Series rings and he caught four no-hitters. Personally, I think he should be in the Hall of Fame, and he just could be. Who could forget when he stuffed A-Rod's face full of glove. That was awesome! The Red Sox will not be the same without him. Dustin Pedroia is expected by the other teammates and NESN to be the new captain. I have a nice prediction. When Bobby Valentine and whoever manages after him are out, Jason Varitek could very well be the team's new manager. He'd be good at it too. The Red Sox should retire his number 33. Also, he was my dad's favorite player. Great job Varitek!
Varitek was a great player and one of the best of the Boston Red Sox. He will be missed!
