Jerry Trupiano spent nearly 15 years in the Red Sox radio booth and called the team’s historic 2004 World Series victory, ironically in his hometown of St. Louis. Trupiano attended St. Louis University and grew up learning from legendary Cardinals broadcaster Jack Buck. Prior to his time in Boston, Jerry was a sports talk show host for 14 years in Houston and did play-by-play for all of the city’s professional teams.

Early in his radio career, he gave a University of Houston student named Jim Nantz his first job in sports broadcasting. Years later at the 2021 Ouimet Banquet, Nantz surprised Trupiano by naming his endowed Ouimet Scholarship in honor of his mentor and longtime friend. In the Ouimet tradition, Jerry has continued paying it forward, teaching young broadcasters at the University of Houston and locally at Dean College.
