Touched by the tribute, Orsillo waved back to the players, many of whom he's formed relationships with over his 15 years of calling Red Sox games on television.
"Unbelievably, I wave to the Red Sox for the final time," Orsillo said with the broadcast winding down. "Thank you, boys. Orsillo rounding third and heading home."
It was a spontaneous tribute that came to the Red Sox in the late stages of the game.
"I thought that was something that we collectively thought would be a very nice gesture for Don," said Red Sox interim manager Torey Lovullo.
