"Joe Castiglione has been the voice of the Red Sox for 42 seasons, there when the Sox broke the curse two decades ago in 2004 and beloved by generations of fans," Mayor Wu said in a press release. "We're proud to proclaim September 29 as Joe Castiglione Day in the City of Boston, honoring his contributions to the Red Sox, to Fenway Park, and to our entire city."
The Red Sox voice received the Ford C. Frick Award this year. The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum bestows the award to the broadcaster who provided 'major contributions to baseball.'"
Castiglione announced his retirement from the broadcast booth last week. The 77-year-old was the Red Sox voice for multiple generations and received his deserved praise after he made his career announcement.
