Flemming also has experience calling a wide range of sports including college basketball and hockey for ESPN and CBS Sports.

2026 Yankees controversy On August 31, 2026, Flemming, heretofore largely unknown outside of New England, drew widespread criticism after referring to New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. as a “bush league player”, saying that he “plays the game the wrong way,” and suggesting that Boston retaliate against Yankees players during a Red Sox broadcast. (Chisholm stole second and then third in a game the Yankees already led 7-1.) Flemming subsequently apologized, saying that his comments had “crossed a line” and that his emotions as a fan had affected the broadcast.

Flemming was absent from the Red Sox radio booth for the following series, prompting speculation that he had been suspended.
