Purchase options and add-ons

Who better to rank the best Red Sox of all time than, yes, the president of Red Sox Nation himself? Here, Jerry Remy does just that?forty-four players in all, from early-era legends such as Cy Young, Babe Ruth, Johnny Pesky, and Jackie Jensen; to remarkable pros like Ted Williams, Tony Conigliaro, Carl Yastrzemski, Rick Burleson, Dwight Evans, Dennis Eckersley, and Wade Boggs; to modern superstars from Roger Clemens to David Ortiz. Remy draws on his personal memories and his analytical prowess to highlight what makes a given player a Red Sox hero, and his detailed statistics go well beyond batting averages. Each chapter is accompanied by photos, many from the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Remy also salutes five special teams in Red Sox history, including the 1967 ?Impossible Dream” team, the 2004 ?Reverse the Curse” team, and the 2007 ?Champions of the World, Part II” tour. And then there are two Great Moments that qualify a pair of Daves for special mention: Dave Henderson and Dave Roberts. Finally, Remy turns his eye on an up-and-coming crop of young stars who may someday be elevated to an even higher plateau as Red Sox Heroes.

Eminently readable, painstakingly researched, and imbued with the rich history of the Boston Red Sox, Jerry Remy’s Red Sox Heroes is a must for any member of Red Sox Nation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun little book for Red Sox fans to debate and argue about
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2009
OK first has anyone got more from a mediocre at best career than Jerry Remy? That being said this is a fun little book. I like that Remy made an attempt to capture Red Sox from all generations. Like all his work it is obvious this was done in conjunction with the team as virtually every player listed is also a part of the team's Hall of Fame. Proof of this is the fact that Bill Lee, one exceptional part of Red Sox history and blocked from the Red Sox Hall of Fame is missing.

So this is enjoyable and fun but do yourself a favor and get it out of the library. No need to make Remy richer, he's already rich enough.

2.0 out of 5 stars Brief overview
Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2014
The marketing efforts of Jerry Remy continue.

Remy is a former Red Sox player who has found a good niche as Boston's color commentator on broadcasts. In addition to on-air work, Remy branched out into other areas, including merchandise, Web sites, and books. (Since the book was written, Remy has done other works and coped with a couple of serious difficulties in his personal life including illness.)

"Jerry Remy's Red Sox Heroes" was one of his many projects. If nothing else, it's easy reading -- the book should take most people a very short time to get through.

This is broken into a couple of sections, one major and one minor. Remy starts by picking out something of an all-time Red Sox team, roughly by position, and calls each of them a Red Sox hero. Remy comes up with 44 names in all -- wouldn't a 25-man roster been more appropriate, and more difficult? -- and then comes up with mini-biographies on each of them.

These are pretty short, a bit stat-heavy and filled out with pictures and a complete statistical review of the player's career. As you could imagine, the best ones have some sort of insight with the author, which means the players Remy either played with in Boston or commentated on afterwards. There is a little of that here, but not a great deal of it.

After that comes a section called "Great Moments and Great Teams." Remy and co-author Corey Sandler reviews Boston's 1967, 2004 and 2007 season, as well as Dave Henderson's 1986 homer, Dave Roberts' 2004 steal, and the development of some young stars in the past few years.

This is all pretty harmless and basic stuff. What's the big problem? A lack of new information. The history of the Red Sox has been covered pretty well in the last six years or so. In fact a DVD came out last summer that reviews the playing careers of many Red Sox greats. Therefore, this just recites some pretty common knowledge.

New members of Red Sox Nation might find "Jerry Remy's Red Sox Heroes" to be a quick course in history. Other, more experienced citizens, though, will find this to be very familiar terrain.
