If you’ve been an FOB for any amount of time you know that from the hundreds of interviews I perform from my desk that I frame my subjects with two of my favorite things hanging on the wall in our office- The New York Post Cover of ARod with the huge caption “A-Hole” and the framed print of Jason Varitek stuffing his mitt up in ARod’s grillpeice.
So the sports reporters will ask if his number deserves to be retired at Fenway to which I respond “Are you serious?”
Without his leadership and without this scene below igniting his team you don’t have a ring. Bottom line, end of story.
Well ‘Tek is retiring so I thought I’d just go back a bit and pull up a few of the interviews. I’m not sure if my interviewees are aware that’s how I frame my shots but in case you weren’t paying attention, here you go-
There’s way too many to list here but you can subscribe to the video feed and see videos that get uploaded to the GMG channel before they even get posted here if you subscribe here
Thanks for the memories ‘Tek!

I love Tek: those squats he did for all those years.. what a Captain.. saw him hit many hits and homeruns and catch many games with many different pitchers, also as a Bruin once said, love to have him in between the pipes.. good luck to him, hope he stays with the Red Sox… Also shut out to Tim Wakefield, about 15 years ago he winked at me after a game.. (as my husband will say, I am a Groupie) love them both and thank them for many great seasons.
Of all the great moments in sports history in Boston, the most pivotal, the one that got rid of the curse, the one that changed the direction of a season that erased 86 years of futility, was that face wash.
One can argue that Pudge was a better catcher but Tek has two rings.
