Don Orsillo became NESN's voice of the Boston Red Sox at memorable time. He called Sox games from 2001-2015, throughout the team's best years, as they claimed three of their MLB-leading four World Series championships since 2000.
Orsillo departed NESN on some sour terms, as the network opted not to renew his contract for the 2016 season and beyond. Red Sox fans are still unwell about the departure, especially because Orsillo and the San Diego Padres booth, which he has led since 2016, placed first on Awful Announcing's ranking of MLB's best local broadcast teams for 2025.
