Former Boston Red Sox play-by-play announcer Don Orsillo shared a heartfelt message in honor of his longtime friend and broadcast partner Jerry Remy, who passed away in October following an extended battle with lung cancer.
“Having trouble coming to terms with the fact that I am about to do my first Major League season without the friendship and guidance of this guy. #Remy2RIP #MissYouEveryday“
Orsillo and Remy were partners for 15 seasons. Orsillo, who is now the play-by-play announcer for the San Diego Padres, will never forget the great times he had with Jerry.
The Red Sox will wear No. 2 patches all season to honor Jerry Remy. They’ll also hold a special ceremony prior to their April 20 game against the Toronto Blue Jays.

We will always cherish the many memorable moments these two had together. So many great moments, and laughs. This was one of my personal favorites.
