The Blue Sox and The Republican/MassLive.com are pleased to invite you to purchase tickets to the Western Mass Baseball Hall of Fame banquet on Wednesday, January 28th, 2015 at the 12th floor ballroom at La Quinta Inn & Suites in Springfield at 6:30pm. Tickets to the event are $45. Tables of 8 can be purchased for $350.
The Western Mass Baseball Hall of Fame was established to recognize and honor the best athletes, teams and friends of the game in our region. As we continue our efforts to build and promote the game throughout the region and take it to new heights, it is important that we acknowledge and honor all those who created a legacy of pride and tradition for our current generations of athletes, coaches and administrators.
In addition to enshrining the second class into the Hall of Fame, we are pleased to announce that Boston Red Sox Radio Broadcaster Joe Castiglione will be an honorary inductee and will give the event’s keynote address.
The 2015 season will mark Castiglione’s 33rd season broadcasting the play-by-play on the Red Sox Radio Network and his 35th season broadcasting Major League baseball. Joe previously called games on TV for the Cleveland Indians (1979, 1982) and the Milwaukee Brewers (1981). Joe has called over 5,000 regular season games and 112 postseason games for the Red Sox including 4 World Series. He has broadcast more Red Sox games than anyone in history. Castiglione is also the first Red Sox broadcaster in history to call the final out of a Red Sox World Championship (2004).
MassLive Contributor and local sports caster Scott Coen will emcee the event.
