Varitek, a three-time All-Star and two-time World Series champion, played his entire 15-year career with the Red Sox. <\/p>\n<p>Varitek established himself as a symbol of the vitriolic Yankees-Red Sox rivalry in July 2004. After Alex Rodriguez was hit by a pitch, Varitek ignited a bench-clearing brawl by slamming his catcher&#8217;s mitt into Rodriguez&#8217;s face. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption>Jonathan Papelbon pitches against the Yankees in September 2010.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Paul J.
