The 2021-2022 season of the Great Falls Forum continues on Thursday, October 28th, featuring Tom Caron, studio host of Boston Red Sox baseball on the New England Sports Network (NESN), with a talk entitled “The Golden Age of Boston Sports.” This free, public program will take place from 11 AM to 12 PM virtually via Zoom and streamed to the Lewiston Public Library Facebook page.

Lewiston native Tom Caron has been a sportscaster on the New England Sports Network for the past 26 years and has had a front row seat for the greatest run of sports success in any city in America. In his Great Falls Forum presentation, “TC” will talk about this incredible run, looking back on 12 championship seasons over the past 20 years. He’ll discuss how COVID has impacted professional sports, and what the future holds —for Boston’s teams and sports in general. He’ll answer questions about the state of Boston teams, his career, and more.

Tom Caron joined NESN in 1995 and has been a member of the network’s team for 26 years. For the past 20 seasons, he has been part of NESN’s Red Sox broadcasts, and has served as studio host since 2004. In addition to his Red Sox duties, he has served as a Red Sox field reporter, studio host for Boston Bruins hockey, and play-by-play announcer for the Hockey East championships and Beanpot tournament. Prior to NESN, Caron was the play-by-play voice of the Portland Pirates of the AHL and was inducted into the team’s Hall of Fame in 2014. An eight-time New England Emmy Award winner, Caron was named New England’s Favorite Local TV Sports Personality seven times by Channel Media Sports Research’s New England Sports Survey, and was inducted into the Maine Sports Hall of Fame in September 2021. He is involved in many local and regional charities, including Mass Mentoring, Good Sports, Inc., the Run to Home Base Program, and the Red Sox Foundation.
