Four former Celtics have their college jerseys retired (with video)

Via the Worcester Telegram and Gazette (telegram.com):
Holy Cross is proud of its basketball history, and everyone in yesterday’s sold-out Hart Center crowd would likely agree that the afternoon was yet another majestic moment to remember.

The college retired the jerseys of all-time greats George Kaftan, Bob Cousy, Togo Palazzi and Tom Heinsohn, and the 2008-09 Crusaders treated the fantastic foursome to a thrilling, 73-69 overtime victory over St. Joseph’s.

"It was beautiful," Palazzi said, summarizing the day succinctly.

TOGO

* which I failed to take footage of because I dropped my camera bag and had to rummage around in the dark for five minutes to retrieve it, so I'm just linking to the T&G video instead ... D'oh!
