Temple Beth Sholom will host retired Red Sox announcer Joe Castiglione at its sports brunch on Sunday, June 15.

Castiglione, known for his 42 years announcing Red Sox games, will be the featured speaker at the event, which begins at 10 a.m. at the temple.

He joined the Red Sox in 1983. At the end of the 1992 season, Castiglione became the team's lead radio announcer, along with Jerry Trupiano. His voice became nationally known when the Red Sox won the 2004 World Series, as his unforgettable “Can you believe it?” became a catchphrase.

In August 2014, Castiglione was inducted into the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame, and in 2023, he was named as the 2024 recipient of the Ford C. Frick Award for Excellence in Broadcasting, and later accepted the award during the Baseball Hall of Fame induction weekend in July 2024.

A raffle for Red Sox tickets will be held; tickets are $5 each or three for $10. Two seats at each game on July 11 and August 6 are the raffle prizes.

Cost is $15 per person; children under 18 are free. RSVP at www.tbshull.org/sports-brunch.html.
