Varitek talks about respect for Jeter, catching Wakefield

Boston Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek joined the show to talk about the state of the team and much more.

Dan asked Varitek how he’d react if he was on the field “I’d trip him first and congratulate him second,” Varitek said.

But in seriousness, Varitek said respecting the game is etiquette rule No. 1, so it’s OK to respect other players’ achievements.

Varitek did say, however, A-Rod is a whole different story if he breaks the home run record.

Varitek talked about the challenges of catching Tim Wakefield. He shared a story about when a ball hit him in the stomach.

Varitek also discussed his Memorial Day Raffle — a great way to help veterans. Check it out here.
