Jerry Remy began as NESN's Boston Red Sox color analyst in March of 1988, teaming up with veteran play-by-play announcer Ned Martin. Prior to going behind the microphone for NESN, Remy was a crowd pleaser behind the second base bag at Fenway Park. Jerry played 10 years in the major leagues, where he compiled a .275 lifetime batting average.
The Somerset, Massachusetts native was originally signed by the California Angels in 1971 and made his big league debut in 1975. In December of 1977 he was traded to the Red Sox for pitcher Don Aase. He played second base for the Red Sox from 1978-1985, when a knee injury forced his retirement during spring training of 1986.
Remy had his best year in 1978 when he batted .278 scored 87 runs and stole 30 bases. The same season he posted a career-high 19-game hitting streak and was selected to the American League All-Star team.
