My Dad (hardlyyardley on CB) is turning 70 this weekend.
Just wanted to say Happy B-Day to Dad, and thank him for instilling a deep love of all of the home teams, as well as a love of stats.
I grew up going to a lot of Celtics games (end of Hondo era and all of Bird era), but I also went with Dad and my brother to some great Celtics rookie camps in Marshfield, and some memorable Boston Shootouts as well. I learned to love the development of players, as much as just watching the games.
Long before discovering Celtics Blog, shooting the poop about sports was flowing in my veins. Thanks for that Dad, and Happy 70th.
