Prior to celebrating his retirement from baseball on Friday, former Red Sox star Dustin Pedroia received a message from an old friend.
Ex-NESN announcer Don Orsillo, who was the play-by-play announcer for Red Sox games on the network from 2001-15, sent his regards to Pedroia before Friday’s ceremony.
“Best to my friend Dustin Pedroia on his retirement Ceremony,” Orsillo wrote in a tweet. “Miss our commercial shoots. Thank you for all on the field, but maybe more so off. 2009 told me my HR calls were ‘Brutal’ and ‘Get somebody out of their chair’ Working on it ud83dude02.
