About me:
I am NOT Jason Varitek. This is a fan MySpace and is in no way affiliated with Jason Varitek or his representatives.
For more information, news and photos on Jason, visit my main site at Jason Varitek An Unofficial Site
If you have any questions, please [e-mail me (Erin)].
Tek-nically Speaking:
"I walked up to Varitek and said, 'You don't know who I am but I know who you are. I see the way you carry yourself, I see the way you conduct yourself...' I mean I watch this guy block every pitch, I watch him throw in between innings down to second base - that's what this game needs, it needs people to have respect and play the game the right way!" -- Orioles manager Dave Trembley during MASN's broadcast of the Red Sox @ Orioles game on May 14, 2008.
"He's a bulldog! I wouldn't want to mess with the guy. He's big-time old-school. He'll hurt you. He's a throwback player. And there just aren't many out there like him. Players like him just don't come around often." -- John McLaren, manager of the Seattle Mariners in an interview on June 6, 2008.

July 9, 2008 - Jason says, "NO TRIPLE PLAY" - Wild play during the Red Sox seven run seventh inning, as Jason Varitek hit a shot to center field that the Twins Denard Span came in on, but couldn't make the play, but he sold it well, and one umpire ruled it a catch. The umpires original call elicited a reaction of disbelief from Jason Varitek. After the Red Sox protested, the umpires conferred and reversed the call, calling it a "no catch", giving Varitek an RBI single.
