Heads Above the Rest

Share this piece of history

Date: 1957-58 season

Instead of a team photo, the Celtics opted for floating heads on the team’s 1957-58 yearbook cover. Inside, the yearbook was becoming less a media guide and more a fan publication with fun facts and sketches of the Celtics players and front office. The publication featured a minute-by-minute breakdown of the thrilling double-overtime win over the St. Louis Hawks for the 1957 NBA World Championship title, including a photo of Frank Ramsey hitting the winning basket.
