We LOVE Tommy! Remembering the legendary Tommy Heinsohn (1934- 2020)

In the classic film "Field Dreams," James Earl Jones says the fantastic line, "The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball." That's how I feel about Tommy Heinsohn. The one constant through all the years watching and following the Celtics, has been Tommy Heinsohn. Form listening to Tommy do color commentary on CBS nationally televised games in the 1980's to him doing the play-by-play with Bob Cousy for Celtics away games. And once we got cable, for Heinsohn's role with Mike Gorman on SportsChannel and the various name changes since for the past thirty years. Today 2020 took a First Teamer as the Celtics great passed away at the age of 86 years old.
