Auerbach passed away Oct 28th. We raise 17 Oct 28th.

[2008CELTICS17]

It would be nice if the Celtics do something special to celebrate Red. Also number 17.

[ACF]

I'm sure they will.
It'll probably be "Goosebump
Night", followed by a big win

On this same note, Len Bias's 22nd death anniversary coincided with Boston's game 6 win over the Lakers to win the NBA championship.

Screwy isn't it?

[Kwhit10]

I'm sure they will honor Red that night too.

Just wanted to check some dates
to see if there were other screwy
coincidences. So I go to Wikipedia
to read a bit about this.
Lo and behold, it looks like some
Laker fan edited the Celtics article!
Check it out (it's at the top):

He must be sad that all Kobe is getting
is an Olympic gold medal 

EDIT: It looks like someone fixed it.
At the top it said:
"The worst team in the history of the NBA"
or something like that.
I logged in to correct it and when I went
to the page again, someone else had beaten
me to it. I don't mind though

The 2004 World Series was clinched shortly after midnight on October 28th, 2004.  Game 4 of the 07 series was also on October 28th.  Most importantly my mom's birthday is October 28th.  What a day.

Does your mother have a sense of the important historic events that she shares a day with?

Oct. 28th 2000: My last day as a bachelor!

I think she does.  She's a Sox fan and is a big time Celtics fan.  I know that she knows how important October 28th, 2008 is, a ticket to that game is all she is asking for for her birthday.  Not the easiest task but hopefully we'll get to be there.

i would be surprised if they do anything significant.  more than likely, they will mention the significance of the date and red towards the organization during the ceremony.
