Jerry Remy, Red Sox icon on the field and in the broadcast booth, dies at 68

Mr. Remy, an undersized everyman of a ballplayer who hustled his way from a Somerset boyhood to the American League All-Star team in 1978, died Saturday, Oct. 30, 2021, according to a team source. He was 68 and had undergone repeated treatments for cancer since he was first diagnosed in 2008.

Nicknamed “The RemDawg” by play-by-play partner Sean McDonough in the 1990s, Mr. Remy became a cultural icon during the franchise’s early 2000s renaissance, a welcome nightly visitor in fans’ living rooms across New England. He was elected to the Red Sox Hall of Fame in 2006.

Right around the 10-minute mark, these guys get into some seriously funny stuff. Remy was laughing so hard you'd think he was going choke. It was funny.

A classic moment in the booth. I remember when Martinez got duck-taped to the dugout post....Jerry and Don were . He was just a great voice for the Red Sox.
