Johnny Miller was: Salem News: Leveille cancellation saddens Generosa

[Kevin Vahey]

The man is beloved in the Boston sports community by players and other
reporters.

To anyone new to the beat he would be the first one to offer advice.

When a new player would join a Boston team other players made sure the
newcomer would not be startled by Johnny. Players would give him
quotes that they would not give to anyone else because they trusted
him.

Another thing that makes these cutbacks at WBZ scary. Other stations
can now point and say if BZ is cutting back we can as well.
