SAD DAY FOR RED SOX FANS!
When I was 9 years old, I was at Fenway Park with my parents and my brother.
Sean McDonough was then the pre-game host for the Red Sox and walked by our seats. I yelled, "Hey, it's Sean!" He turned around and greeted me and my family. He was a classy guy and very genuine. He was also a co-host/sidekick on a weekly TV38 show called 'Ask the manager'. The next week he mentioned meeting us on the air (BY NAME, "I'd like to say hi to MATT AND ADAM".
It meant alot to me at the time and still does. I've worked at NBC Sports and CBS Sports here in NYC and he ranks right up there with the best in the business. I always looked forward to going home to NH in the summer to watch Red Sox games with my brother, mother and dad and listening to Sean and Jerry Remy do the play-by-play.
Sean, best of luck in your post Red Sox life. You're the best!

McDonough shocked he's not coming back
By Kevin Paul Dupont, Globe Staff | December 10, 2004
His emotions alternating between his trademark humor and broken-voiced sadness, veteran broadcaster Sean McDonough confirmed yesterday that NESN informed him last Friday that he will not be part of the Red Sox broadcast team in 2005.
"I've had 17 wonderful years of doing Red Sox games," said McDonough. "If I can just say, I'd like the fans to know how much I've appreciated their support through the years. It's been a privilege to have that job. From the age of 7 or 8, that's the job I wanted. I can't tell you how many people have said to me along the way, `You have the best job in the world.' And my response to them all the time was, `You're right, I do!' To walk around your hometown for 17 years, and have people tell you they enjoyed your work -- how much they enjoyed me and Jerry Remy -- I can't tell you how much I appreciated that over the years."
