Jason Varitek

Jason Varitek hit a HR tonight against the Royals. That HR gives him 131 as a member of the Red Sox and ties him for 18th place on the Red Sox all-time list. The top 18 for the Red Sox is as follows:

1. Ted Williams 521
2. Carl Yastrzemski 452
3. Jim Rice 382
4. Dwight Evans 379
5. Manny Ramirez 233
6. Mo Vaughn 230
7. Bobby Doerr 223
8. Jimmy Foxx 222
9. Rico Petrocelli 210
10 Nomar Garciaparra 178
11 Jackie Jensen 170
12 David Ortiz 166
13 (tie) Tony Conigliaro 162
13 (tie) Carlton Fisk 162
15 George Scott 154
16 Reggie Smith 149
17 Trot Nixon 132
18 (tie) Frank Malzone 131
18 (tie) Jason Varitek

Varitek was tied with Mike Greenwell with 130. I don't think he'll break the top 10 but Varitek really has a shot at tying or beating Carlton Fisk's record for HR by a catcher of 162.
