Tune In To 'Call To The Hall: The Willie McGinest Story' On 98.5 The Sports Hub

BOSTON (CBS) -- 98.5 The Sports Hub has a special treat for Patriots fans this holiday week, as we take a look back at the career of the Patriots' newest Hall of Fame inductee, Willie McGinest, in "Call To The Hall: The Willie McGinest Story."

Patriots play-by-play man Bob Socci hosts the special as he chats with the three-time Super Bowl champ about his 12-year career in New England. Owners Robert Kraft, NFL Hall of Famer Bill Parcells, Tedy Bruschi and many more will also share their stories about McGinest as they look back on his time with the Patriots.

McGinest quickly became a fan favorite after New England drafted him in 1994, and was a key part of their dominating defenses that led the Pats to Super Bowl titles in 2001, 2003 and 2004. He owns the most postseason sacks in NFL history with 16, and his 78 career sacks rank third all-time in franchise history. He was inducted into the team's Hall of Fame prior to this season.

"Call To The Hall: The Willie McGinest Story" will air on 98.5 The Sports Hub on Christmas Eve at 6pm and on Christmas Day at 9am and 4pm. You can also catch the special on CBSBostonsports.com the day after Christmas.
