Yes, Joe Castiglione really did fall out of his chair after that Andrew Benintendi catch

Say, Joe Castiglione, ever fallen off a chair during a broadcast before?

“No, not until last night,’’ the 36-year veteran of the Red Sox radio booth said Thursday with a chuckle. “There’s a first time for everything in this business.’’

Castiglione’s call of Andrew Benintendi’s bases-loaded, game-saving catch in the ninth inning of the Red Sox’ 8-6 victory over the Astros in Game 4 of the American League Championship Series became a fun sidelight to one of the more tense postseason games in recent memory.
