Your new Red Sox radio guy is battlin' cancer, you hear?
Look— we all know the Sox are lookin' like a triple-A team out there right now, right? Garrett Crochet had a start so bad against Minnesota it looked like he was pitchin' with his eyes closed. But here's the thing that actually matters, the kinda news that hits you different than another loss on the Green Monster. Our legendary radio voice, Joe Castiglione, the guy who's been callin' games on WEEI since most of us were in diapers, just announced he's cancer-free. Wicked early, wicked real — that's how we do it from Dot to the Harbor.
Here's the Scoop
* **Who:** Joe Castiglione, the longtime radio voice of the Boston Red Sox. * **What:** He's been battlin' cancer, and just announced his scans are clean. He's officially cancer-free. * **Why it matters:** This ain't just some national story; this is *our* guy. He's the voice of our summers, the soundtrack to countless drives up the Pike, or sittin' on the porch in Southie, just listenin' to the game.
I'm just sayin', you hear that voice, you immediately think of Fenway Park, of walkin' down Lansdowne Street after a win, or even a tough loss. He's been through the lean years, the curse, the unbelievable comebacks, and those three World Series titles. He's a part of the fabric of this city, just like Dunkin' or argument about the Big Dig. To hear him say he's good, he's healthy, after all he's given us, that's better than any win the Sox could pull off right now, I'm tellin' ya. It's a reminder that some things are bigger than baseball, even in a city that lives and breathes the game.
That’s some good news for a change, eh? The fellas on the morning show are always talkin’ about what really matters – catch 'em live at mornings.live.
