Dear Red Sox Fans,
Sherm Feller, the greatest ballpark announcer in Red Sox history passed away sixteen years ago. Sherm’s famous “Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to Fenway Park” is still used on TV , radio, and even at The MLB Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. Sherm’s induction into The Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame is long overdue. Please take a minute to send an e-mail to Dick Bresciani, Boston Red Sox Historian, and creator of the Red Sox H.O.F.. (BrescianiD@redsox.com). Ask Mr. Bresciani to lend his support in getting Sherm nominated on the next ballot. Please be brief and polite with your comments. You may know other members of the nomination committee as well. Please contact them. Please visit www.shermfeller.com and read the many memories that people have written and consider doing the same. You can also visit the Sherm Feller group on Facebook. Keeping Sherm Feller’s memory alive is a labor of love for me and a few of my close friends. Your help is very much appreciated. Thank you for your time. Go Sox!

Legendary Yankees Ballpark Announcer Bob Sheppard passed away today (July 11th, 2010) at 99 years old. He and "Sherman" (as Bob called him) were very good friends. RIP Bob, please say hello to our old pal.
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 Mike Dean:
Reading about Bob
Sheppard's passing away reminded me of Sherm
Feller and his distinctive style, which I
enjoyed hearing a lot (sometimes, in my
baseball PA work, I will try to use that
style).
So, since I never sent the Red Sox
organization a note of appreciation for
Sherm's work, I hope to partially rectify
that with this note.
Mike Dean
From Kenneth Barr:
Sir:
I
am writing to ask that Sherm Feller be
inducted into the Boston Red Sox Hall of
Fame. As a New York citizen of the
nation, I know the value of an iconic Public
Address announcer. Both Bob Sheppard
(Yankee and Giants Stadium) and John Condon
(Madison Square Garden) are honored for
their legendary work at their respective
venues. PA announcers may mean more in
baseball than in any other sport, as their
player announcements are official and no
player may take the field without an
announcement. In today's world of
cheerleader PAers, Mr. Feller stands out for
his clear, concise method with a unique
personality. Watching Sox games, (I
didn't see my first game at Fenway until
1994), I got a real kick out of his,
"#27, Carlton Fisk, Catcher Fisk."
as an example of his one of a kind style.
As
Bob Sheppard is known as the voice of Yankee
Stadium, Sherm is the unforgettable voice of
Fenway Park. Please honor him in the
manner he deserves with induction into the
red Sox Hall of Fame.
Sincerely,
Kenneth Barr

It was after a strong cup of coffee on a Sunday morning when I came up with the idea for shermfeller.com. This morning I was laying in bed thinking (dreaming) about the day that Sherm finally get's inducted into the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame. That's when it hit me...It should happen at Fenway Park, and it should happen w/ John Kiley. It could be during an "Old Timers Game". A few choice Red Sox Alum Could record their "I remember being introduced by Sherm Feller" stories for a video presentation on the Jumbo-tron followed by a short presentation on the lives of feller and Kiley, and then Carl Beane would hit the "Play" button in the control room and fans would hear this... Click Here Priceless!
