I'm putting it out there that all Boston teams should retire [HASH]6. The Sox already have a 6 so they should do another 6 in green kinda like how they did Jackie Robinson [HASH]42 in blue.

Great player, great teammate, great man. And the greatest laugh I've ever heard!

The world just lost a great person. But we will always have the memories.

It's a shame there isn't more of his early footage available.
A few years ago i remember thinking dang, a lot of the Celtics retired stars are still alive. Now we've lost Hondo, Russ, the Jones Bros, and Tommy all within like 18 months. There are now only 2 surviving members that first title team (Cousy and Togo Piazzo). Thankfully there's still several left from Russell's last championship team in 69.

Just last week I was 19 -- now I'm inching closer to 50. |
