Will Flemming, a 45-year-old broadcaster, has taken over as the radio play-by-play voice of the Boston Red Sox after Joe Castiglione's retirement. Flemming, who has spent six years with the Red Sox radio team, expressed deep gratitude and excitement for this opportunity, acknowledging the legacy of previous broadcasters. His journey included working in the minors for nine seasons before debuting in MLB with the Red Sox in 2019. This moment marks a significant highlight in his career, fulfilling a longtime aspiration to be the voice of such a storied franchise.
"I mean, we're talking about the Red Sox. We are talking about Joe Castiglione and Curt Gowdy and Ken Coleman, legends of this business."
"This is something I've been working for and toward for a long time, and I sit here... It's almost impossible to put into words, the emotion that I feel."
"Flemming has paid his dues in full... the dream of being a baseball play-by-play broadcaster - which is something of the family business now."
"In 2009, he took a $500-a-month job calling home games for the Astros' Single A team in Lancaster, Calif."
