BOSTON -- The Boston Red Sox honored longtime radio voice Joe Castiglione, who is calling his final game Sunday, with an on-field pregame ceremony.

Castiglione, 74, who was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame this summer with the Ford C. Frick Award, has been the team's lead radio voice since 1983.

During the ceremony, the team played highlights of his calls over videos of the American League championship team in 1986, and Boston's World Series title teams in 2004, '07, '13 and '18 on the center-field scoreboard.

Members of those teams came onto the field during the ceremony.
