Major League Baseball Team Captains

Major League Baseball Team Captains

In Major League Baseball, a captain is an honorary title given to the member of the team primarily responsible for strategy and teamwork while the game is in progress on the field. This role has been particularly important during eras and situations in which managers and coaches have been precluded by the rules from interacting with players on the field while the game is in progress. As is the case with the NHL, some MLB captains (such as the Red Sox' Jason Varitek) wear a distinctive "C" on the left side of their jersey.

Three Major League Baseball teams currently have captains. The three teams and their captains are:

*Derek Jeter, New York Yankees
*Jason Varitek, Boston Red Sox
*Paul Konerko, Chicago White Sox
