Don Orsillo signed off as the Boston Red Sox play-by-lay announcer for the final time Sunday.

An emotional Orsillo wrapped up a 15-year career in the NESN booth, as the veteran broadcaster will be reluctantly replaced by Dave O'Brien for the 2016 season.

After the final out, Red Sox players and staff stepped out of the dugout to salute Orsillo in the booth.

"Unbelievably, I wave to the Red Sox for a final time. Thank you, boys," Orsillo said.

Interim manager Torey Lovullo said following the game that the team wanted to show Orsillo how much he meant to the organization.

"We wanted to acknowledge him for all his hard work and his dedication."
