FILE - In this July 24, 2004 file photo, New York Yankees' Alex Rodriguez, left, is pushed by Boston Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek, after Rodriguez was hit by a pitch from Red pitcher Bronson Arroyo in the third inning at Boston's Fenway Park. Now that the news is out Varitek has decided to retire after 15 seasons as the catcher in Boston, it doesn't make it any easier to take. Variteck's icy stare, rugged beard and crew cut hairstyle was the perfect look for a rag-tag group that helped end decades of inferiority to the hated Yankees with a magical run to the World Series title in 2004.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) ? Alex Rodriguez laughed off Bobby Valentine's comments about his 2004 scrap with Jason Varitek, then made a brief statement and ducked through the crowd of reporters surrounding his locker.
Derek Jeter spoke longer, but was no less bemused.
The first Yankees-Red Sox stir of the new season appears to be fizzling out.
Valentine, Boston's new manager, said Tuesday that Jeter didn't need to make his famous flip-to-home relay during the 2001 playoffs and fondly recalled when Varitek "beat up" Rodriguez in 2004.
Rodriguez said Wednesday he didn't want to get into a war of words with Valentine. Jeter found the topic ridiculous, saying he's "indifferent" to Valentine's jabs.
