Jason Varitek Is Back With The Red Sox At Fenway
The Red Sox are back at Fenway…kind of. Today they held an intrasquad scrimmage to get ready for the 2020 season.
As if the pressure wasn’t on already from being away for so long, there was a new umpire, Jason Varitek.

A lot of people mentioned that he was still in great shape and wondering if this could be a permanent gig?

Others noted that this is just another moment that could only happen in 2020.
Watching the Red Sox play the Red Sox in an empty Fenway Park with no announcer and Jason Varitek as the umpire.

2020 is the Twilight Zone.
We’re just happy baseball is back!
