Jason Varitek and Carl Crawford have some what of a rocky past. Crawford stole many bases against Varitek, ran him over at home plate a couple times and broke his foot last season when he fouled a pitch off ‘Tek’s foot. Everything is all good now though according to Crawford.

“We gave each other a hug, buried the hatchet a little bit,” Crawford said. “I let him know, ‘I’m on your side now, so you don’t have to worry about all that.'”

‘Tek jokingly followed up with these comments…

“First, you never let me throw you out,” Varitek said he told Crawford. “Secondly, you run me over at the plate, jacked up my neck. You’re the guy that caused all my neck problems. And then, last year, you fouled a ball off my foot and break my foot. I said, “You’re singlehandedly trying to ruin my career. Thank God you’re here. You just extended my career four years.”

I think all of Red Sox Nation is happy to see Crawford in a Red Sox uniform ‘Tek!
