4. Remy Way

Similar to Pesky, Jerry Remy has also spent a good chunk of his life with the Red Sox.

Remy had a respectable career with the Red Sox, as he batted .286 with one all star appearance in seven seasons with the team.

But, even more important to Red Sox nation has been Remy’s 30-year broadcast career, as he’s served as the team’s color analyst since 1988. He’s announced over 3,900 Red Sox games during his career.

In the renaming of this street, the Red Sox should look to have it renamed after someone who was on the field for the good times of the franchise, which has been the past 13 years.

Even though Remy hasn’t been on the field for these past 13 years, his voice has helped narrate the summer for millions of Red Sox fans all over the region. Everybody knows Remy and he is beloved throughout Red Sox nation.

Remy is currently taking time away from the booth after being diagnosed with lung cancer. This is the fifth time Remy has had to battle cancer, and he’s set to undergo chemotherapy later this month.

Before this Sunday’s game against the Yankees at Fenway, the Red Sox will honor Remy for his 30 years in the booth. It would be quite the surprise if they gifted him with “Remy Way” as the replacement for Yawkey Way.

And it would also be well-deserved.
