FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY
» July 31, 1997: How do you spell relief? In a fine move for Boston, the Red Sox send reliever Heathcliff Slocumb to the Mariners for minor leaguers Jason Varitek and Derek Lowe. Slocumb will not last a season in Seattle, while Varitek and Lowe will become key members of the 1999 Sox. The Mariners also ship budding star Jose Cruz, Jr. to Toronto for relievers Mike Timlin and Paul Spoljaric.

» May 28, 1999: The Red Sox defeat the Indians, 12-5, despite five passed ball by C Jason Varitek, who has trouble catching Tim Wakefield's knuckleball. Varitek, who has three PBs in the 1st inning, falls one short of the major-league record for a single game. He atones for his fielding sins by stroking three hits, including a home run.

» June 26, 1999: Boston scores 11 runs in the 1st inning on the way to a 17-1 victory over the White Sox. Pedro Martinez (14-2) goes five innings with John Wasdin pitching the last 4. Brian Daubach and Nomar Garciaparra homer in the 1st with Nomar adding another in the 3rd. Mike Stanley and Jason Varitek also homer in the game for Boston.

» October 10, 1999: The Red Sox set an all-time postseason play record by scoring 23 runs in defeating the Indians, 23-7. The win ties their league division series at two games apiece. Boston gets 24 hits in the contest, including five by Mike Stanley and four each by John Valentin and Jason Varitek. Valentin hits a pair of home runs and drives home seven runs, while Jose Offerman and Trot Nixon bring home five runs apiece.

» May 20, 2001: The Red Sox beat the Royals, 10-3, as Jason Varitek is 4-for-4 hitting three home runs and an RBI single and drives in seven runs. Varitek came into the game with two homers. Manny Ramirez and Carl Everett solo to back Frank Castillo's pitching.

» June 7, 2001: In Boston's 8–1 win over the Tigers, the Sox lose C Jason Varitek when he breaks his right elbow diving for a pop bunt in the 7th inning. Varitek earlier hit a homer. Carl Everett drives home five to back Tim Wakefield's 4th win.
