In addition to a pregame ceremony, NESN will also air Joe Castiglione's final call in the ninth inning of Sunday's game.

Before he calls his final game Red Sox game, Hall of Fame broadcaster Joe Castiglione will be celebrated by the team -- and the city of Boston -- at Fenway Park on Sunday.

For the third straight year, the Red Sox won’t take part in the postseason. On Wednesday, the Sox suffered a *****6-1***** loss to the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. That defeat, coupled with victories by the Royals (3-0 over the Nationals) and Tigers (7-1 over the Rays) left the Sox 4½ games behind both teams for the final two wild-card spots — an insurmountable gap with the Sox having just three games left in the season.

The Red Sox were officially eliminated from postseason contention after falling to the Blue Jays on Wednesday night.
