"A Boston Sports Legend"

A Voice You just Can't Forget

This web site is dedicated to the memory of Sherm Feller, Boston Red Sox PA announcer for 26 years. He also wore many other hats. Sherm was a Boston Radio personality, and a music lover who wrote and produced pop songs like "Summertime Summertime", standards like "Snow Snow Beautiful Snow", and a moving Orchestral suite called "Ode To JFK". Sherm was a friend to all, and this is where some of his friends will help preserve his memory for generations to come.

I would like to thank Columnist Beverly Beckham for getting the ball rolling with her article "Sox Should Remember Sherm". Since this is a work in progress, everyone is welcome to contribute a personal story, a picture, or even an article about Sherm. Send your stories and comments to AttentionPlease@ShermFeller.com Thanks in advance for any and all contributions.

Please Take some time to look at, and contribute to the letters page now.

From P. Chris Podgurski

Hi Gary, I was unaware of your relationship with Sherm, and am really happy to see this site. For many years my Uncle Don and I raced to Fenway after work for what must have been hundreds of games. Of course I was one of the luckiest kids at the time, as we were invited guests of Haywood Sullivan. I was given, (well maybe I took!) unique freedom to be in just about any location (the press box, the clubhouse, the owner’s box Etc..) in the Park before, during, and after the games. BUT, interestingly enough, I spent countless days and nights sitting next to Sherm and flipping the switches that illuminated the bulbs in the left field wall. I knew every one of the other folks that worked the control room as well as the entire staff that supported the operations of the Park. Watching Sherm announce countless at bat’s for players that are now long retired was always exciting, and forever will be in my memory. Occasionally Kenny Carberry would have to step in when Sherm was indisposed. Once, I remember Dick Bresciani looking through the glass at ME sitting in the chair, with NO Ken, and the UMP looking up at the announcer’s box. Just when I was to make my debut, Sherm came running down the stairs!

   Sherm was certainly an interesting guy to say the least. Listening to the stories to my younger ears at the time was a learning experience of sorts….!
