Sean McDonough
From SoSH
Sean McDonough began television broadcasts of Red Sox baseball in 1988 with partner Bob Montgomery for games broadcast on WSBK channel 38. Sean would be a fixture on Red Sox broadcasts through the World Championship 2004 season, many of those years teamed with color analyst Jerry Remy. McDonough and Remy built a strong rapport over their 9 years together. Sean became known for his strong broadcasting voice, quick wit, and ability to analyze the game. In 2005, he was replaced by Don Orsillo. McDonough was not afraid to be critical of the team, and some feel this led to his fall out of favor. Being replaced by the more 'vanilla' Orsillo did not dispel that notion.
McDonough is the son of late Boston Globe columnist Will McDonough. He graduated from Syracuse Univerity in 1984. McDonough's work in the Red Sox broadcast booth propelled him to work on the national level with CBS sports. McDonough called the 1992 World Series and 1993 World Series, both won by the Toronto Blue Jays. McDonough went on to broadcast the NCAA Tournament, College Football, and NHL games. He briefly hosted an afternoon radio show, 'The McDonough Group', on the ill-fated WWZN.
