I did the same thing.  I thought I was spelling it wrong.

I couldn't get Tommy in their either.  I looked him up.  Tommy is right outside the top 10 with 12,194.

Thanks for pointing this out.  I have something to do for the rest of the afternoon.

You're not alone.  I took so long trying to type "Heinsohn" over and over again, it got down to a few minutes left and I started to get nervous.  Then it hit me.

Haha, I was actually thinking the same thing too.  I spelt it "Heinsohn" about 10 times before I tried something else.

I got them to publish a few more Celtics ones

http://www.yardbarker.com/nba/articles/Name_all_the_Celtics_with_Retired_Numbers/306781

(I only got 17 - too bad)

http://www.yardbarker.com/nba/articles/NBA_Titles/306791

(I missed one, the Bucks)

I got all the names in the first one, although I had trouble spelling one (not to give it away, but the guy without his actual number retired).

For the titles, I missed a few, going back to the 1950s.
