Dennis D’Agostino, the New York Knicks’ team historian and a significant figure on the New York sports scene, has died at 66.
The native New Yorker was a public relations member with the Mets and spent 36 seasons with the Knicks as a team historian and writer.
Notably, D’Agostino wrote the 2003 book, Garden Glory: An Oral History of the New York Knicks. Walt Frazier wrote the foreword to the book, which is described by Google Books thusly: “Culled from the memories of dozens upon dozens of players, coaches, team executives, owners, reporters, and fans, this work features the participation of such Knicks icons as Senator Bill Bradley, Phil Jackson, Marv Albert, Patrick Ewing, Walt Frazier, Earl Monroe, Anthony Mason, Charles Oakley, and John Starks.
