Voice of the Celtics: Johnny Most's Greatest Calls
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This is the ultimate insider's look at the personalities of the players and coaches who contributed to "Celtics Pride." The late Johnny Most describes in vivid detail his firsthand accounts of the greatest Celtics moments in history! A referee once said that Johnny Most "could cause a riot at a High Mass" with his emotional, pro-Celtic descriptions. He turned shoving matches into "bloodbaths" and minor fouls into "vicious muggings." As Danny Ainge, Boston's recently appointed director of basketball operations commented, "I always believed we had thirteen guys on the active roster-twelve wore uniforms--and the thirteenth, Johnny Most, was the voice of the celtics!
