The Green Monster. The Triangle. Pesky’s Pole. They are but a few
of the defining features of Fenway Park, home base for legions of
devoted Red Sox fans. Now, a hundred years after Fenway first
opened its gates, Mercy! tells the park’s history through Red Sox
radio and TV announcers recalling and commemorating the American
institution. Mercy! is three history books in one, covering Fenway,
the Red Sox, and their Voices on the air. Announcers have become as
much a part of Red Sox lore as the park has. Fred Hoey was the
team’s first radio announcer. Successor Jim Britt called its
first live TV broadcast. Curt Gowdy denoted respectability,
courtesy, and pluck. Ken Coleman played his voice like a violin.
Ned Martin’s signature exclamation gives Mercy! its title. He
called one legendary game after another, including Carlton Fisk
waving fair his World Series–tying home run in 1975. Other
well-known Voices include Bob Murphy, Jim Woods, Jon Miller, Ken
Harrelson, Dick Stockton, Sean McDonough, and Joe Castiglione. In
2004, when the Sox finally won their first World Series since 1918,
Castiglione asked the Nation, “Can you believe it?” Many
can’t, even now. Baseball historian Curt Smith’s interviews
with many of these beloved broadcasting personalities provide the
backbone for this unique celebration of “America’s Most Beloved
Ballpark.”
