Watching Baseball, Updated & Revised by Jerry Remy

Watching Baseball, Updated & Revised by Jerry Remy

The Boston Globe's number-one bestseller is back, revised and updated for the 2008 season and presented in a new trim size. Jerry Remy's name and face are already known to millions of fans. During baseball season 400,000 or more households tune in to listen to his broadcast of Red Sox games. But many learned to love him years ago when he was traded to the Sox, earning a trip to the 1978 All-Star Game in his first year with the team. Remy hit .278, scored eighty-seven runs, and stole thirty bases that season.

Injured in 1984, Remy never played another game. In 1988 he began his work as an announcer, working color commentary for Red Sox broadcasts on NESN, a basic cable channel available throughout New England and by satellite across the country.

In Watching Baseball Remy explains America's favorite sport by going inside the minds of coaches and players to reveal the game within the game. He takes readers around the diamond, pointing out the positioning of infielders, what's really going on during batting practice, how catchers and pitchers call a game, the difference between high cheese and a knuckler, and much more.

Jerry Remy is an extraordinary broadcaster with an intimate knowledge of baseball that comes from more than a decade as a major league player and more than 2,200 games as the voice of the Boston Red Sox. He hosts the popular Web site theremyreport.com and the Jerry Remy chat room on Yahoo. In fall 2007, after a debate with other candidates that was moderated by Tim Russert, he became the first president of Red Sox Nation--which has millions of fans in New England and beyond. His previous book, also written with Corey Sandler, is Watching Baseball (Globe Pequot).
Corey Sandler is a lifelong baseball fan and the author or coauthor of more than 125 books, including Watching Baseball (Globe Pequot) with Jerry Remy.
