A sports icon in Boston, Rico Petrocelli defined the position of a “power-hitting” shortstop in his 13 years with the Red Sox. In 1969 he was the first shortstop to hit 40 home runs in a season, a record that stood until broken by Alex Rodriguez in 1998. Petrocelli has worked as manager, coach, and TV analyst for the Pawtucket Red Sox, a radio/television analyst for the Boston Red Sox and the Seattle Mariners, and host of a weekly sports talk show on Boston’s 1510AM “The Zone.” In addition to co-hosting The Great American Collectibles Show, he co-hosts the popular Sirius MLB Radio show Remember When with Ed Randall of New York’s WFAN. Rico is the author of Tales From the 1967 Red Sox Dugout and he contributed to An All-Star’s Cardboard Memories.
