Red Sox pitching legend and broadcaster, Dennis Eckersley, called his last game in the booth at Fenway yesterday. The well-wishes came flooding in. But one particular "farewell" post hit Red Sox Nation hard. Probably because we love, admire and miss him so much. The post from former Sox play-by-play guy, Don Orsillo, was so heartfelt. In one year we lost both Jerry Remy (to cancer), and now Eck to retirement. Perhaps, oh, if only...are you listening  Red Sox brass... Bring back Don!!
