Don Orsillo Returning To Fenway To Call Red Sox-Yankees Game

September 25, 2018

A former longtime Boston Red Sox play-by-play television broadcaster is planning to call the team’s nationally televised game with the New York Yankees at Fenway Park on Saturday.

Don Orsillo was fired from NESN in 2015 by the Red Sox in favor of current commentator Dave O’Brien. Red Sox fans reacted strongly against the move.

Orsillo currently calls San Diego Padres games, but also takes occasional national television games. Saturday’s game is on Fox.
