How Red Sox plan to honor Joe Castiglione ahead of his retirement from broadcast booth

Joe Castiglione is being sent out in style on Sunday.

The longtime Red Sox radio announcer will be honored ahead of the team’s 2024 regular-season finale against the Rays in a ceremony that will include several notable names and faces, the team announced on Friday.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu will have a proclamation during the pregame ceremony that will designate Sept. 29 as “Joe Castiglione Day” in the city.

“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,” Wu said in a statement on Friday.
