Jason Varitek in 2009 with the captain insignia on his chest.

Note that these records reflect statistics only for a player's tenure with the Red Sox. For example, David Ortiz hit a total of 541 home runs during his MLB career; 483 with the Red Sox and 58 with the Minnesota Twins [1] —thus, Ted Williams' 521 home runs, all hit with the Red Sox, is the team record.
