When Joe Castiglione called his first game as the Red Sox’ radio play-by-play voice April 5, 1983, three future Hall of Famers were in the home lineup (Carl Yastrzemski, Jim Rice, and Wade Boggs), and another took the mound as the starting pitcher (Dennis Eckersley).
As it turned out, there was one in the broadcast booth, too, that day (a 7-1 loss to the Blue Jays, if you’re scoring at home), with Castiglione receiving the 2024 Ford C. Frick Award from the Hall of Fame, the highest honor for a baseball broadcaster.
We ought to be able to say that there were two.
