Longtime Boston Red Sox announcer Joe Castiglione made a big announcement about his future during Sunday’s game.

The 77-year-old Castiglione on Sunday announced that he will retire from “a regular broadcast schedule” at the end of the season. He added that he would remain around the team as an ambassador and suggested he could also fill in as needed.

Castiglione has called Red Sox games since 1983. He was on the call for four Red Sox World Series titles, including in 2004, when the team ended its 86-year championship drought. He had worked a reduced schedule in recent years, having worked an 81-game schedule since the start of 2023.

The much-beloved Castiglione also became a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame this year as the recipient of the 2024 Ford C. Frick Award.
