Review

From a Boston.com chat with author Jerry Remy: I have been reading (and enjoying immensely) your book Watching Baseball. I think that there is a lot of potential for a show on NESN for it. You can either show vintage clips.... or clips from each previous week (any team) or previous season (so we can watch baseball in the off season) and pick plays that explain to us each facet of the game that you describe in the book. I have always been a baseball fan, but I can't believe how much I've been missing from the game. Your book has helped me enjoy the game even more. One other question, since you talk in your book a lot about defensive alignments...why can't you convince NESN to put some cameras where we can see the alignments as they shift. If would help a lot, when you watch on TV, you'd swear that the players are always playing in the same spot. Thanks, and keep up the good work. Congrats to you and all the other Red Sox greats. This one was for you as much as the fans! Sandy Mascola, Bristol, Rhode Island
