A couple of weeks ago, a Worcester woman wrote to the Telegram and Gazette to complain about NESN telecasts suggesting, among other things, that Jerry Remy " has lost all touch with reality" because he doesn't realize the Wally is "just a doll, and not the true mascot."
After allowing that attack to stand for nearly three weeks, one of the Rem-dawg's defenders has finally struck back:
Letter writer too hard on Remy, Orsillo
MARTHA HARDY, Worcester
This is concerning a letter to the editor complaining about Jerry Remy and Don Orsillo (Telegram & Gazette, May 20). I felt more than compelled to write this letter.
Apparently the letter writer is not aware of Mr. Remy's history with not only baseball but especially the Boston Red Sox. He is a former player and has played with some of the really great players in baseball history. He also recently wrote a book on how to watch a baseball game, and both Mr. Remy and Mr. Orsillo are educated on the players on both teams which makes it informative and entertaining when watching the game.
As for Wally, he is the team mascot and has been a dear friend of Mr. Remy's for some time.
The letter writer should lighten up.
