RemDog...
Bill James, in his Historical Abstract rated him as the 100th greatest second baseman of all time as of 2002.
RemDog played 6 seasons at 2nd base for The Red Sox and 3 for The Angels.
Since 1988, Remy has found success in broadcasting, working for the New England Sports Network (NESN), as the color commentator for all NESN Red Sox broadcasts. Since 2001, Remy has been teamed with play-by-play announcer Don Orsillo. NESN celebrated Jerry Remy Day on June 24, 2008, in honor of Remy's 20 years of service for the network. He is currently serving as the first president of Red Sox Nation.
Remy owns a hot dog stand, "RemDawg's," located on Yawkey Way outside of Fenway Park in Boston on game days. He also recently opened a sports bar in Logan Airport and is scheduled to open another next spring, next to Fenway Park. He also runs a web site, The Remy Report, and is the author of the book Watching Baseball (co-authored with Corey Sandler) and the children's books Hello Wally and Wally the Green Monster and His Journey Through Red Sox Nation!.
Jerry Remy was inducted into the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame in 2006.
On a serious note Jerry Remy has battled lung cancer and depression during the last two years.
He made this statement last May.
In November I had a very small, low-grade cancerous area removed from my lung. I was fortunate that it was discovered at an early stage. Except for the surgery, I required no additional treatments. I left the hospital with a clean bill of health.
Unfortunately, following the surgery, I developed a bad infection further compounded by a case of pneumonia. It was the pneumonia and the infection that set me back. This all happened just as I was leaving for spring training.
In hindsight, it was a mistake to go and I am paying the price for it now . .
First of all, I would like to thank all of you for the outpouring of concern you have given me recently. I honestly appreciate it. Secondly, I want to emphasize that I am in good shape now.
While physically I have no issues, the past few months have been emotionally draining, and exhausting for both my family and I. Along those lines, I would like to thank NESN and the Red Sox for allowing me to take as much time as I need. I am not certain exactly when I will return, but I will keep you posted.
Jerry Remy is expected to be back in his usual chair as color man for NESN and The Red Sox in 2010.
