Tyler Kepner of the New York Times opens his article on yesterday’s game like this: “Jason Varitek wears a C on the left breast of his road jersey, symbolizing his status as captain of the Boston Red Sox. Derek Jeter, the Yankees’ captain, does not wear a C. His title has always been obvious.”

Chris Snow of the Boston Globe opened his coverage with this sentence: “The “C” stitched on Jason Varitek’s uniform and absent but implied on Derek Jeter’s stands for captain. Yet in a matinee in the Bronx, under a cloudless sky and before the Yankees’ largest-ever second-day crowd, the “C” signified clutch.” It’s like when Time and Newsweek both use the same photo for their covers. I bought a season subscription to MLB Radio yesterday; I figure $14.95 is a good deal for the ability to listen to unlimited games online, even if it’s just half a dozen day games at work throughout the course of the season.
