The president of Red Sox Nation?

The guy who Red Sox fans see every time they watch a game on NESN.

Jerry Remy won a landslide victory in balloting for president of Red Sox Nation, garnering 39,120 votes in the election that was held via redsox.com, text messaging and by postcard. The next four finishers were what the Sox described as “regular fans”: Rob Crawford (13,669), Jared Carrabis (9,445), Cheryl Boyd (5,305) and Cindy Brown (3,460).

What does it mean?

Who knows?

Sox manager Terry Francona, who managed the Philadelphia Phillies for four losing seasons from 1997-2000, said he was gladdened by the Phils’ finish to the regular season and presence in the National League playoffs.

“You go through some tough times,” said Francona, “with some really good people. I hate to leave out names, but [chairman] Bill Giles was right at the top of that list. There is nobody — I mean, nobody — that I would want to have [enjoy success], because I bet you when they won that last game, the smile on his face made me feel good . . . I was thrilled for a lot of those people.

“The feeling may not be reciprocated on all avenues, but there were some people I was really happy for.”

The bar area on the right-field roof — not the seats where Sox Appeal was filmed, but the bar behind it — is no longer visible at Fenway Park. The Sox placed a set of bleachers at that site, to get some extra seating.

The Standells — brought back into the public eye when the Sox began playing their one hit, “Dirty Water,” after home victories in the late 1990s — sang the national anthem and also performed “Dirty Water” before the game. Remy, Red Sox Nation’s new president, threw out the first pitch.
