The Red Sox and NESN blew it in this Don Orsillo situation

Wednesday was an emotional one at Fenway Park, with the Red Sox and NESN hosting an on-field ceremony to remember Jerry Remy, the beloved broadcaster and former player who passed away last fall. For any of the faults we can find with the Red Sox organization, they typically handle these types of ceremonies extremely well, and for the most part they nailed it for this one as well. They brought out former teammates and broadcast partners of Remy, and his former play-by-play partner Sean McDonough gave a wonderful speech highlighting many of the reasons Remy became such an important figure for so many Red Sox players, coaches, staff members, and fans.
