More Reasons to Love the Red Sox: Jason Varitek

110207-varitek.jpgWe're on the verge of Red Sox Burnout and looking forward to the Pats-Colts game (live blog Sunday!), but the Red Sox keep on impressing us with their victory laps. We are loving captain and catcher Jason Varitek right now.

Varitek appeals to the angel side of Bostonist's personality. He wears Cosby sweaters and hands out Halloween candy. What's not to love about that?

According to the Globe, Varitek gave the kiddies--and their parents--a treat when he sat on his driveway in a lawn-chair throne. And then he "handed out autographs, signing baseballs, hats, shirts, pillow cases stuffed with candy, and a green alien glove from a youngster's costume."

Speaking of 'Tek's fashion, we also like that he's not afraid to wear a muscle shirt on an airplane. Barstool Sports has pictures of the team's flight home after winning the World Series. While all the other guys are dressed up, Varitek is sitting around in a muscle shirt. He just doesn't care about fashion, and if you care … well, just look at his muscles.
