So many memories of him in the booth, especially those with Don Orsillo. I’m so happy he got to throw out the first pitch on October 5th. That was heartwarming and special :heart:

Air guitar, Pizzagate, losing a tooth, mouth-to-mouth, and more. He really had a good time in the booth.

Cancer is the damndest thing. Sometimes some people can be on deaths door step and recover. Other time, you have this where Remy looked pretty good October 5. And then takes a turn for the worst. Ugh.

It really is. I find it so hard to believe that in the day and age we are in that we don’t have a cure for cancer. It blows my mind that we have robots and self driving cars and treatments and vaccines and every other thing under the sun, but the leading cause of death and we don’t have a cure for it. It makes no sense to me
