Fred Manfra didn't get the final play-by-play call his Orioles broadcasting career deserved — J.J. Hardy struck out looking in a loss Sunday to the Boston Red Sox — but his farewell always was going to feel shortchanged, with the Orioles Radio Network stalwart stepping aside midway through his 24th season at the microphone.
