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 seven more years. He was an All-Star in 1978 . He was released by the Red Sox in 1985 . Bill James in his Historical Abstract rated him as the 100th greatest second baseman of all time, as of 2002. 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 ''Buenas 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, "RemDawgs" on Yawkey Way outside of Fenway Park in Boston on game days. He also runs a web site, The Remy Report , and is the author of the book ''Watching Baseball''. Remy has also served as a color analyst for FOX's national coverage of Major League Baseball, primarily assigned to games in the Northeastern U.S. Remy will be inducted into the Boston Red Sox Hall Of Fame in 2006.
