The North Station concourse beneath the TD Garden was renamed in the honor of Celtics legend Red Auerbach Friday.
Celtics coach Doc Rivers and captain Paul Pierce were among the
luminaries as the "Red Auerbach Concourse," replete with photos and
signs in Auerbach's honor, was christened in a short ceremony and
speaking program.
Auerbach's daugther, Nancy Collins, highlighted the dedication by
unveiling a bronze plaque with the image of her father and his
trademark cigar. Next to it stands a bronze shamrock and it was
suggested that anyone looking for a little luck come touch the fixture.
Red most certainly deserves this honor. What would have been really cool was Red living another few years to see this team win in 2008 and beyond.
We miss ya, Red.
