“FENWAY'S BEST PLAYERS”  |

A native of Quincy, Mass., Dave O'Brien joins the Red Sox radio booth for the 2007 season. The versatile O'Brien, who split his time growing up between the Boston area and New Hampshire, has held a variety of broadcasting play-by-play roles since arriving at ESPN in 2002, including Major League Baseball, college basketball and the NBA. He broadcasts for ESPN, where he has handled a variety of play-by-play roles, including Major League Baseball, Major League Soccer, College Basketball, and the NBA since joining the network in 2002. He worked as both a radio and television announcer for the Florida Marlins from 1993-2001. He provided commentary for MLB's international coverage of the World Series from 2004 until 2009. He was the television voice of the New York Mets on WPIX-TV from 2003 through 2005. Prior to the 2005 season, O'Brien was denied permission by ESPN to join the Chicago Cubs' broadcast team. In 2007, O'Brien called play-by-play for an ESPN broadcast of a game between the San Francisco Giants and the San Diego Padres, in which Barry Bonds tied the major league all-time home run record with his 755th home run. More notably, he called the August 7, 2007, game between the Giants and the Washington Nationals in which Bonds hit his 756th home run, breaking the record that was held by Hank Aaron for more than 33 years. He won the Achievements in Radio (A.I.R.) award for Best Play-by-Play for his call of Mark McGwire's 59th home run in 1998. Dave has also done play-by-play for the Atlanta Braves and college football and basketball action for the University of Georgia and University of Miami. He has called several League Championship Series and World Series for MLB’s International TV coverage. O'Brien joined Marcelo Balboa on the primary broadcast team for the 2006 FIFA World Cup coverage on ESPN and ABC Sports, despite having no experience calling soccer matches prior to that year. Because The Walt Disney Company, owner of both television outlets, retained control over on-air talent, the appointment of him as the main play-by-play voice was made over the objections of Soccer United Marketing, who wanted JP Dellacamera to continue in that role. Disney stated that their broadcast strategy was intended, in voice and style, to target the vast majority of Americans who do not follow the sport on a regular basis. Mispronunciation and incorrect addressing of names, misuse of soccer terminology, and lack of insight into tactics and history plagued the telecasts, resulting in heavy criticism from English-speaking soccer fans, many of whom ended up watching the games on Univision instead. In 2016 Dave moved over to the NESN and took over the TV Red Sox broadcasting job.
He is a well-loved figure in Red Sox Nation, bringing his humble yet affable personality to every televised game. As such, Remy was "elected" to be the first "President" of Red Sox Nation. During slower parts of the game, the pair will carry on long non-baseball discussions, with pop culture a frequent topic. The pair also often
discuss the imaginary exploits of Wally the Green Monster, a doll of which sits with the pair at the front of the broadcast booth. - See more at: http://www.allamericanspeakers.com/sportspeakers/printbio.php?speaker_id=Jerry-Remy#sthash.gNPmto9u.dpuf
