When Lesley first met Dan Shaughnessy in 1974, they were covering high school football for the Boston Globe and going to dive bars on Boston’s old waterfront. Dan went on to become one of the greatest writers of his generation, authoring “The Curse of the Bambino” and being elected to the prestigious writer’s wing of the Baseball Hall of Fame. Dan writes about every sport, sometimes with a twinkle, sometimes a hammer, but his latest book, “Wish it Could Have Lasted Forever – Life with the Larry Bird Celtics” is a joy, filled with anecdotes you couldn’t possibly get today – from travelling with the team, sharing meals, and getting to know the players everywhere from hotel bars to baggage claim.
