The Red Sox honored former catcher Jason Varitek before Saturday's game against the Blue Jays. The 15-year veteran couldn't describe his emotions and feelings toward the Red Sox organization, his teammates and the fans, so he simply said: "Thank you." "It was surreal for me to really absorb what just happened," Varitek said. "I spent a lot of my time out there trying to absorb but I don't think I fully can because, on my mind, you're there, they're doing this for you and I in turn want to say, 'Thank you,' and how do you say thank you after 15 years? How do you say thank you to a fan base that has been nothing but supportive? And a fan base I fit with my style of play and what they demanded." Varitek admitted he was anxious about the moment and called it "weird" being on the field at Fenway and not preparing to play.
