Red Sox Hub Digest September 20, 2004
“We got pounded today, plain and simple. So our season’s over? That’s a crock of you know what. This team doesn’t do that.”
-Kaptain Jason Varitek, hitting .122 in September and hitting into DP's and whiffing like a fat kid at the school dance.
Yes, Tek, we do know what; right now, you are stepping in it...Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?? The Mark Hendricksons and Pete Walkers are stopping Tek; Once again, he is on a "roll over" down the stretch...Leadership is important, but clutch hits in September are paramount.

There have been 11 unassisted triple plays in baseball history and 16 perfect games…1 of each in World Series history...
Triples account for approximately 2% of all hits in the modern game, while homeruns now account for 12% of hits. In the days before Babe Ruth the hitter, triples were more commonplace than homers.
