Hard to not like the Rem Dawg.

1st season that there were seats on the Green Monster my bro in law scored seats. Red Sox did a TV broadcast from cf. Jerry came over for a photo op.

Rest in Peace, Rem Dawg

Tough way to go but who's had a better time than Remy over the last 4 decades?

 

[Marat]

Very sad. He was just out there in a wheel chair shaking hands pregame in ALCS at Fenway.

Awful news. Went fast this time

Very sad to hear this. He was a part of many summer nights in our home.

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

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.

Even as a Yanks fan really enjoyed his days with Orsillo some great stuff and funny!

RIP Jerry

This is the best one ever. RIP Jerry. You will be missed.

And Jerry's famous play by play of the fan pizza throwing incident was a classic.

Boston has been blessed with entertaining broadcasters, Johnny Most, Tommy Heinsohn and Jerry. Love homers, almost every city has one or more.

RIP Jerry. Like so many others, I spent countless nights listening to RemDawg during his broadcasts. The early 2000s were special with Jerry and of course Hazel Mae. Although he seemed like such a natural, I just read an article where he prayed for rainouts during his first season. He credited Ned Martin for helping him improve.

Mike Narracci (my swim teammate at UConn '81-'82), Coordinating Director for 21 years of the Red Sox broadcast:

“Jerry and I connected immediately, and I considered it a great privilege to be a part of his inner circle. Throughout my career, I needed to learn the game of baseball and there was no better teacher than The RemDawg, so I stayed close to him: sitting near him on the bus and the plane, having dinner with him almost every night. I absorbed it all, and learned so much. He made me a better director and shaped the broadcast that fans experienced for those years in so many ways. I will miss him greatly.”

This hits hard. Remy's voice was a summer staple in our house. He loved the game and great in the booth. He was a 'homer', but he also had great respect for the other team and their players, especially those played the right way. I will always remember "Here comes the pizza" and the "Inane Banter Warning" that would pop up on the screen when he and Orsillo would get off topic.

Seemed like a great guy and had a good baseball career and as a broadcaster. He had some tough things happen in his life too.

RIP Rem Dawg. Was a New England staple. My elderly mother in law, who is a great person took it hard. His voice reminded her of watching games with her late husband. It's amazing how the smallest things hit us hard sometimes.

Love the Rem Dawg, may he RIP....

@Waquoit Not an attack but are you familiar with his bio? He has battled cancer, depression and the loss of his son since 2008.
Again not a personal attack simply saying your portrayal of his last decade plus of life is simply off base, using a baseball term.

Jerry was a tough man and fought the demons to the end. Heart out to his family, friends and Red Sox Nation!

I agree. I can’t even imagine what he went through with his son and that whole thing. That alone would be enough to destroy many people.

RIP to a legend, a great guy who battled through a lot in his life. A fighter to the end very sad to hear the news your never prepared to hear.

I celebrated the positive and you harped on the negative. To each his own, I guess.

I'm a Mets fan, but from 2009-2014 my friend and I would get together and watch baseball on Fridays, not every week, but a bunch. He was a big Sox fan, so we would flip back and forth between the Mets and Sox games. Remy was a fantastic broadcaster. Him and Orsillo together was about as good as it gets (maybe not quite as good as my team's lineup, but maybe I'm a little biased).

RIP Remy. I'll throw a piece of pizza at a random innocent bystander in your honor.
