Jerry Remy’s stories all should be familiar by now.
After all, he’s been associated with the Red Sox since 1978, when the Somerset native came home, having been acquired from the California Angels to be the second baseman for his favorite boyhood team.
He has been a color analyst on Red Sox television broadcasts since 1988, one who is incisive, sharp-witted, and beloved by many, though his tenure has not come without sadness and tragedy.
One might think Remy, never one to shy from candor, would have spilled all of his best stories during some of the slower innings and longer ballgames in his 32 seasons in the broadcast booth.
