Alex Rodriguez might still be spooked by Jason Varitek
The Alex Rodriguez/Jason Varitek scuffle is just one of the moments that highlight the Red Sox/Yankees rivalry.During a July 24, 2004 game between the Red Sox and Yankees, Boston catcher (and captain with a “C”) Jason Varitek let it be known he wasn’t going to be intimidated by anyone from New York.
Varitek famously got into it with Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, shoving his catcher’s mitt into A-Rod’s face and cementing his way onto every New Englander’s desktop wallpaper in the process.
