Jerry Remy, the beloved longtime Boston Red Sox broadcaster and former Major League Baseball infielder, died Saturday night after a lengthy battle with lung cancer, the team announced. He was 68.

“We are saddened by the loss of a beloved player, broadcaster, and 13-year cancer warrior,” Red Sox principal owner John Henry said in a statement Sunday.

Pizza:

Late Red Sox broadcaster Jerry Remy had 33 years of calls at Fenway, and one of them stands out as one of the most bizarre in-game situations ever put on tape.

It involves a thrown slice of pizza. The two broadcasters in the booth at the game, against the Angels at Fenway in April 2007, were Remy and Don Orsillo. A pop-up drifted into foul territory along the third baseline around the end of the 7th inning, when a confrontation between two fans caught the attention of the broadcasters.
