[edit] Biographical Information
Started playing baseball in Wassenaar a little town next to the Hague. He also had three brothers who could play baseball very well, but they all died at young ages. Remmerswaal was the first player to go from Hoofdklasse to the major leagues; it would be 14 years before Rikkert Faneyte became the second.
Remmerswaal was a key performer for the Dutch national team in the 1973 European Championship, winning best pitcher honors in the tournament. He threw 6 2/3 shutout innings against the Italian national team for the victory in a come-from-behind 7-6 win that helped the Netherlands win Gold.
