The 1956-57 Boston Celtics finished the regular season with a 44-28 record and then knocked off the Syracuse Nationals in a three-game sweep and then defeated the St. Louis Hawks in a classic seven-game series to win the first of what is now 17 NBA titles. Offered here is the 1956-57 Boston Celtics Yearbook that has been signed by 18 members of that historic squad. This yearbook has a team photo of the Celtics in their white uniforms and several pages dedicated to player bios. The cover has the signatures of Hall of Famers Red Auerbach, Bob Cousy, Tom Heinsohn and Bill Sharman, with signatures of Lou Tsioropoulos, Jack Nichols, Arnie Risen, Dick Hemric, Andy Phillip, Jim Loscutoff and Togo Palazzi rounding out the signatures on the cover. Additional signatures are on the players’ bio pages including Lou Tsioropoulos, Arnie Risen, Togo Palazzi, Andy Phillip, Jim Loscutoff, Jack Nichols and Dick Hemric. A great multi-signed yearbook from the first title-winning Celtics team and it comes with a LOA from JSA.
