One of Red Sox Nation’s favorites “Sweet Lou” Merloni will be our keynote speaker at this year’s luncheon. Merloni is a cohost of MFB on WEEI sports radio, is a Framingham, MA native and while at Providence College set many single season and career records for the Friars. Merloni is known for hitting a home run in his first major-league at bat in Fenway Park, a 3-run home run off of José Rosado on May 15, 1998. He played parts of 9 seasons in the major leagues.
In 2013, Merloni began serving as a part-time color analyst on Red Sox radio, teaming with play-by-play announcers Joe Castiglione and Dave O’Brien for select games. In October of that year he joined Castiglione and O’Brien for WEEI’s broadcasts of the ALCS and World Series.
