Dennis Eckerlsey's last game as a broadcaster will be this afternoon, when the Red Sox finish the 2022 season against the Rays at Fenway Park.

Eck celebrated his 68th birthday two days ago and he and his wife Jennifer are looking forward to moving to the Bay Area and spending time with their grandchildren. "Does that make me feel old? Yeah, possibly. But that's a good thing, you know? I embrace it. I really embrace it. It doesn't make me depressed."

Godspeed to Eck, who I remember pitching for Cleveland for a couple of seasons before joining the Red Sox in 1978.
