I was raised with the voice of the Boston Celtics - Johnny Most and his famous calls: "that was a vicious foul by Lambeer - he mugged him" - Sam Jones #24 with the bank shot, Satch Sanders on defense- Big Bill Russel from San Francisco State #6 - The Bird Man ('from way downtown Bird - its good") - Cousy behind the back - Heinson coming off the bench - Frank Ramsey with a hook shot - "Jungle Jim Lustacoff is chasing him into the stands and going after him with a chair" - "Havilchek stole the ball". Yup, I grew up listening to Johnny Most on the radio - even if the game was on TV we let Johnny tell the story as only he could with his raspy voice and totally biased view of the game. But my heart has always been with the Red Sox - Frank Malzone - Pistol Pete Runnels - Dick "Stone Hands" Stuart - Ken Harrelson, The Hawk - Bill Momboquette - Spaceman Bill Lee- Yaz and Conigliaro and Lynn and Rice - Dwight Evans -Carlton Fisk sends us to game 7 - Don Buddin - Pumpsie Green - Curt Gowdy and a bottle of Schlitz. - make that a 6-pack of Miller Highlight to wash away Bill Buckner's debacle; Big Papi keeps us awake late while rallying the Sox over the Yankees. As for hockey, I cannot skate very well, but in Boston one could not ignore the Bruins and #4 Bobby Orr ( 2 speeds - "here he comes and there he goes") and his Stanley Cup teammates - Derek Sanderson - Wayne Cashman - Johnny Bucyk - Pie Mckensie - Cheevers - Phil Esposito in the slot - Don Awrie .- Ted Green (got hit with the puck in the head which led to mandatory helmets). As for the Pats --- they seem to be on their way to a special season this year, and Brady finally has weapons that may give him his first regular season MVP's. While I love the Pats, I grew up following the NY Giants - Tight End Del Shofner #85 Catcavage, YA Tittle, - Sam Huff - Rosie Grier - Frank Gifford , # 20 Jim Patton - the real football players. As for soccer and the New England Revolution --- sorry, I only like Paul Revere and the New England Revolution he announced. This is Larry B from Boston.
