Jerry Remy, the beloved longtime Boston Red Sox broadcaster and former MLB player, has died after a lengthy battle with cancer, the team says. He was 68.
"We are saddened by the loss of a beloved player, broadcaster, and 13-year cancer warrior," Red Sox principal owner John Henry said in a statement Sunday."Jerry's love and connection to baseball didn't allow anything to stand between the game and him, including for many years cancer," Henry said.
I hope that I'll be rejoining you in your living rooms soon." Two months later, the Somerset, Massachusetts, native threw out the ceremonial first pitch at Fenway before the Red Sox eliminated their arch-nemesis New York Yankees 6-2 in the American League Wild Card playoff game."Jerry was so passionate about the Red Sox and even though he had to step away for treatment late in the season, he was with us every step of the way -- especially in October," Cora said.
