A quick Hacks with Haggs tip of the blogging chapeau to Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek, who quietly played in his 1,400th career game for the Sox in Sunday’s loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, and passed Dom DiMaggio for ninth place all-time in Red Sox franchise history. Varitek already owned the franchise record for most games caught in a Boston uniform, and Rico Petrocelli is next on the list with 1,553 career games played for the Sox. Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski is first on the all-time games played list with 3,308 games in a Boston uniform.
