Lou Merloni

Lou Merloni embodies a story I have a soft spot for, the local kid who gets to play for the hometown team. Growing up in Framingham and suiting up for the Boston Red Sox is the stuff of New England folklore, and the nickname Sweet Lou says plenty about how people felt toward him. What I find compelling is his second act as a broadcaster on NESN, talking about the very club he played for. Players who can also explain the game tend to read the field through experience, and that lived knowledge gives his commentary a credibility I genuinely respect.
