Yesterday Sent Me Down A YouTube Rabbit Hole Of Jersey Retirement Ceremonies

You may have heard, but yesterday Paul Pierce saw his number go up to the rafters. Once I composed myself I was looking for anything to keep my mind off what a disaster the Celtics game was. The result was I found myself going down a deep hole of jersey retirement ceremonies. Maybe it’s because I was emotional, but I love these things. I love seeing legends getting honored, no matter who they play for.

Then I thought, “hmm…there are probably stoolies that weren’t even alive when some of these happened, so why not take the day and show them?”

Obviously things started out with more Celtics ceremonies
