Gerald Peter Remy (born November 8, 1952 in Fall River, Massachusetts) is a former second baseman in Major League Baseball.
In 1971, Remy was drafted in the 8th round by the California Angels. He played three seasons for the Angels starting in 1975 before being traded to the Boston Red Sox where he played another seven years. He was an All-Star in 1978. He was released by the Red Sox in 1985.
Remy is currently enjoying success in broadcasting, working for New England Sports Network, and is the color man for most Red Sox TV broadcasts along with Don Orsillo depending on the game. He is a well-loved figure in "Red Sox Nation," bringing his humble yet affable personality to every televised game. Small traditions followed by Jerry include always greeting Spanish-speaking viewers with Buenos noches amigos or another appropriate greeting upon the announcement of the SAP simulcast, and by bringing a doll of Wally the Green Monster (the Sox' mascot) (and his white adirondack chair) to the announcer's booth of every ballpark the Red Sox visit. He is affectionately known as the "Rem Dawg." He lends this nickname to his hot dog stand, "Rem Dawgs" on Yawkey Way outside of Fenway Park in Boston on game days. He also runs a web site, The Remy Report.
