Hey, I'm not THAT young. :-) College-aged.

I missed out on listening to Most really. The first season I was really into
the Celtics was 1990-91, the year he "retired" due to health problems.
Others say he was forced out by Glenn Ordway.

I should have changed my phrase to limit it to my memory of truly following
Boston teams, which is 11-12 years. Yes, I did miss out on Most and Ken
Coleman, but I did get the pleasure of listening to the late Bob Starr do
Sox games for a couple years (and that was truly a treat).
