Smooching History: What Boston fan wouldn't want to nuzzle up to Red Auerbach's bronzed beard stubble?
SUBMITTED BY: Al Kaufman LOCATION: Quincy Market, Boston
Some of our Boston readers were horrified when they saw this tourist aggressively pick the nose of bronzed Celtics legend Red Auerbach.
So here’s Celtics fanatic Al Kaufman to balance out the negative karma.
“Just because I’m a heterosexual man doesn’t mean that I can’t show love for the Celtic Patriarch,” he says. “I would have done the same thing if I ever met Red in person. And I’ll do it if I ever meet Bill Russell or Larry Bird, but not Kevin Garnett, because he might hit me.”
