Excellent read for Boston sports fans of a certain age, or for those interested in learning more about sports back in the day. I tend to wax nostalgic for the Cowens/Havlicek Celtics of my youth, teams that were overshadowed by the '80s teams that captured the imagination of the city to a much greater degree, but those teams were great, and they were an important part of my own fandom.
Ryan is a favorite sportswriter of mine in short form, and here in long form he's really good too. ( )
