FORT MYERS, Fla. — Via the Red Sox official Twitter feed, here's a photo of Jason Varitek collecting donations for the Red Cross that will go to help the people in Japan.

That's the Captain being the Captain.

Varitek joined teammates Hideki Okajima, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Junichi Tazawa and Itsuki Shoda at the gates of City of Palms Park today.

The group raised nearly $5,000 at the last home game.

You can donate on line via the Red Sox Foundation. Go to redsoxfoundation.org.
