Don Orsillo is the current play-by-play announcer for the Boston
Red Sox. He was born in Melrose, Massachusetts where he often dreamed
of being a broadcaster for the Red Sox. He has been the announcer since
the beginning of the 2001 season (His first game was the Hideo Nomo
no-hitter against the Baltimore Orioles). He also called Cal Ripken Jr.'s
final game.
His partner, the color man for the Red Sox, is Jerry Remy. The Red Sox
games he announces can generally be seen on NESN. Before doing major
league baseball games, he worked in the minor leagues announcing Pawtucket
Red Sox games on the radio.
He graduated from Northeastern University in Boston and currently lives
in Smithfield, Rhode Island with his wife Lisa and their two daughters,
Sydney and Madison.
Orsillo is now also the host of the new NESN program "Stories From
Red sox Nation".
