SEPTEMBER 5th - Former Celtic player Frank Ramsey - Ramsey was often referred to as "The NBA's First Sixth Man" and was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame in May, 1982.

A 6'3" guard, Ramsey played his entire nine-year (1954-1964) NBA career with the Boston Celtics and played a major role in the early part of their dynasty, winning seven championship rings. Ramsey was also a head coach for the Kentucky Colonels of the ABA during the 1970-1971 season.
