Here is yet another Fan Favorites autograph, of former player and current broadcaster Jerry Remy.
Remy fits the definition of Fan Favorite. He is a very charismatic commentator during Red Sox games and was elected President of Red Sox Nation back in 2007. He is also a Massachusetts native. I do think his playing career probably qualified as well. Remy spent seven of his ten seasons with the Red Sox and made his only All Star team as a member of the 1978 Red Sox. Remy appears here on the 1982 Topps design. 1982 was one of Remy's better seasons. He played a full season for the first time since 1978 and hit .280/.337/.324 with 178 hits, 89 runs scored and 16 stolen bases. He was coming off of a season in which he hit .307/.368/.338 with nine stolen bases. 1978 would have been a better choice though. That was his best season in Boston, as he hit .278/.321/.350 with 162 hits, 87 runs scored, and 30 stolen bases.
It's great to see a card of Rem-dawg as a broadcaster.
