Politicians to join in tribute to Auerbach

10/31/06 · 9:10 pm :: posted by Jack Coleman     

Senator Ted Kennedy and Gov. Mitt Romney are among those expected to share their memories of the late great Red Auerbach of the Boston Celtics tomorrow at a noontime tribute to Auerbach held in Boston City Hall Plaza and hosted by the Celtics.

Also turning out to pay their respects will be former Celtic greats Bob Cousy, Tommy Heinsohn and Jo Jo White, along with Celtics owners and employees.

The event is open to the public and remembrance books will be placed around the plaza for fans to write condolences to Auerbach's survivors and their memories of Auerbach, one of the most successful coaches in the history of sport.

The tribute coincides with the day the Celtics open their 2006-07 season against the New Orleans Oklahoma City Hornets. The game's 7:30 p.m. tip off at the FleetCenter will be preceded with a ceremony honoring Auerbach and a video tribute.

The Celtics plan to establish a scholarship fund in Auerbach's name and will be accepting donations for it from fans.

The first 15,000 fans turning out for tomorrow night's game will receive a commemorative pin honoring Auerbach.
