I remember Jerry Remy as a light-hitting second baseman for the hated Boston Red Sox of my youth. He seemed like a classy guy. New Englanders probably know him better as the long-time broadcaster of Red Sox games. Unfortunately, Jerry’s son is a lunatic who murdered his girlfriend last night with a knife. Considering his rap sheet, he should have been in prison instead of free on his own recognizance. We don’t take violence against women seriously enough.

Considering his rap sheet, he should have been in prison instead of free on his own recognizance. We don’t take violence against women seriously enough.
Nor do we take the crimes of the rich, and influential(and their families), serious enough. And word on whether Remy has been dumped from the BoSox broadcasts?
I don’t see how it’s Remy’s fault. I think the BoSox family is rallying around him.
It’s not the old man’s fault .. no .. but what do you think Yankee fans will yell towards the announcer’s box? It basically puts the team in a bad spot
Since when did the opinions of Yankees fans matter to the Red Sox brass?
Not sure if we have an actual “Boston Sports Murder” category quite yet. Or maybe an effed up rich kids category that could include those kids in LA who killed their parents a decade or so back, or could we include Hernandez with the guy who just retired from the Ravens?
I was still a Red Sox fan when Remy was there, but for the life of me I don’t remember him.
Light hitting, but the best Boston player on the base paths until Jacoby Ellsbury.
And a tough out. He hit over .300 several times.
Remy was a good ball player. I grew up an avid Yankee fan in the mid-70s through the early 80s. The Sox were tough. Remy wasn’t the first guy you thought of. He wasn’t Lynn or Rice or Fisk or Yaz. But he was a solid second baseman.
His kid is obviously a real piece of work. How completely sad and tragic. His poor little girl, now motherless and hopelessly traumatized. What a selfish idiot she has for a dad.
