On Monday, Padres broadcaster Don Orsillo joined the “Baseball Isn’t Boring” podcast and discussed the valuable lessons he learned from Red Sox radio legend Joe Castiglione early on in his career.
Orsillo, who attended Northeastern University, worked as an intern for Castiglione while in college.
Orsillo’s first broadcasting gig at the major league level was with the Red Sox in 2001. He served as the team’s play-by-play announcer for NESN until 2015 when the network opted to move on from him and go forward with Dave O’Brien on play-by-play instead.
In his career Orsillo has also catered to a national audience, working for Fox and TBS for several MLB postseasons.
