Jerry Remy returning

      Baseball is starting back up and announcers are getting ready to get back to work. Pitchers and catchers are going back to spring training now. Jerry Remy is a Boston Red Sox announcer and former baseball player. During last season in August his son, Jared Remy was arrested for murdering his girlfriend, Jeniffer Martel. After his son was arrested he took a leave of absence for the rest of the year. No one was sure if he would ever come back. This month Jerry Remy said he would be returning as an announcer this year. He says that at first he was convinced he wasn't going to come back for two reason. One is what the public would think and two is whether he could be himself. He said he had a circle of three friends and his wife, Phoebe, who urged him to reconsider. He finally reconsidered after the new year. He refers back to when he was drafted to the major leagues. He describes how he wanted to quit but his father convinced him to stay and play. He says it was not an easy decision but it was the right decision.
