About the Book

The" Boston Globe"'s Number One bestseller is back, revised and updated for the 2005 season. Jerry Remy's name and face are already known to millions of fans. Every night during the baseball season, 400,000 or more households tune in to listen to his broadcast of the Red Sox game. But fans learned to love him years ago, when he was traded to the Red Sox in 1978, earning a trip to the All-Star Game in his first year with the team; Remy hit .278, scored eighty-seven runs, and stole thirty bases. 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, which is a basic cable channel throughout New England and available by satellite across the country. He covers more than 150 games per season for NESN and broadcast television, plus regular assignments on the national Fox Game of the Week. But the best part of Jerry Remy is his easy style: listeners feel like they're having a beer with a friend while they're watching the game. If spectators just follow the ball, they are missing much of the game. Baseball is a lot more complex than that. Everyone talks about second-guessing the manager; and there's a lot of fun in that for everyone except the manager. Those opinions can be heard all day on the sports talk shows and read in the newspaper columns. But if the people are really going to get into the game, they need to start first-guessing. That's what this book is all about.

Review :
From a Boston.com chat with author Jerry Remy: I have been reading (and enjoying immensely) your book Watching Baseball. I think that there is a lot of potential for a show on NESN for it. You can either show vintage clips.... or clips from each previous week (any team) or previous season (so we can watch baseball in the off season) and pick plays that explain to us each facet of the game that you describe in the book. I have always been a baseball fan, but I can't believe how much I've been missing from the game. Your book has helped me enjoy the game even more. One other question, since you talk in your book a lot about defensive alignments...why can't you convince NESN to put some cameras where we can see the alignments as they shift. If would help a lot, when you watch on TV, you'd swear that the players are always playing in the same spot. Thanks, and keep up the good work. Congrats to you and all the other Red Sox greats. This one was for you as much as the fans! Sandy Mascola, Bristol, Rhode Island "This is a real baseball book, written by an alert, articulate veteran of the game. It is filled with revelatory analysis of such things as hitter performance ahead and behind the count, and is interspersed with countless opinions, most congenial in this quarter--such as that inter-league play is a regrettable innovation and that Derek Lowe needs the occasional, if metaphorical, kick in the butt."
