Sean McDonough is back on top.
Just more than a decade after being dismissed from the Red Sox TV booth, McDonough has landed one of the premier jobs in sports broadcasting. McDonough will serve as the new voice of Monday Night Football for ESPN, replacing Mike Tirico, who is departing for NBC.
And McDonough, the son of late Boston Globe sports columnist Will McDonough, knows the trip he’ll make to call the Patriots’ game against the Baltimore Ravens in Foxboro on Dec. 12 will be special.
“That’s the one that jumped out at me,” McDonough said.
