Absolutely crushed to hear of the passing of Jerry Remy. His voice was like comfort food for all of us in Red Sox Nation, in good times and bad. He & Don Orsillo could make even the most unwatchable of games effortlessly entertaining. Godspeed, sir, and thanks for all the smiles.

Eight years ago today this happened. One of the most iconic home runs in Red Sox history and a literal tide-turner in the 2013 ALCS. Audio here is from Dave Oโ€™Brienโ€™s classic call on EEI. Put this in the freakin Louvre, itโ€™s beautiful.

Crushed by the news of Tim Wakefield's passing. He was a critical (and versatile) cog in many a Red Sox team and, more importantly, a stand-up dude with a gregarious attitude who did whatever was asked of him, no matter how menial. Wake was one of the great ones. This one hurts.
