Jason's Retirement - March 1, 2012247 views"After months of deliberating what to do, I've decided that it's best for me and family that I retire, that I retire a Red Sock,'' Varitek said. ''My decision to retire wasn't one that I took lightly in any sense of the word, nor did I want to do it more than once. This has probably been the most difficult decision I had to make in my career. But the opportunity to start and finish my major league career in one place is why I'm standing here today.
"Being a part of the Red Sox organization of the past [15] years is something I will always cherish,'' said Varitek, who turns 40 next month. "I thank all of you for giving me this opportunity, because it's taken all of you to make this happen.''

"I probably would not be standing here if not for Jimy,'' Varitek said. ''Jimy one day walked up to me before a game started in New York after I first got called up and said, 'Tek, you're going to be a baseball player. You're going to have a long career.' It was just the vote of confidence I needed to get over the hump. I'll never forget him for it."
