Joe Castiglione, the esteemed radio broadcaster for the Boston Red Sox, announced his retirement effective at the end of the 2024 season after an illustrious 42-year career, making him the longest-tenured play-by-play announcer in the team's history. His decision, made during a broadcast of a game against the New York Yankees, comes after receiving the Ford C. Frick Award from the Hall of Fame in July, acknowledging his significant contributions to baseball. Castiglione expressed a desire to spend more time with his family, including his wife and grandchildren, while reflecting on the many memorable moments he has narrated throughout his career, including four Red Sox World Series victories. The Red Sox plan to honor him before their final regular-season game on September 29. Although retiring from regular broadcasts, Castiglione will remain with the organization in an honorary ambassador role, hinting he may return for select broadcasts. His legacy is celebrated by fans and colleagues who regard him as one of the greatest voices in baseball broadcasting.
