One number is missing in the picture.

One number is going to fill in the last blank.

I'm falling a little behind. I am on the road for work and I keep forgetting to post each day's entry. I have had my stay extended for another week and I haven't scanned any calendar pages for next week. I guess that I'll finish up with what I have, one per day, and catch up when I get home.

BTW, I drove so I won't be getting on a plane. It's over 11 hours to get home, but my drive takes me through Indiana, Ohio, W. Virginia and then North Carolina. These states are mostly low infected areas, so I should be alright.

On to the 12th.

Correct.

The Cavaliers defeated the Celtics in the 2017 (and 2018) Eastern Conference Finals.

Thanks for playing.

Quite the tribute to Cooz that so often a player who can make acrobatic, pinpoint passes is said to look "like Cousy."

I'm thinking...
Cooz
Russ
Hondo
Bird
Parish
Pierce

I'll go with 6.

Correct.

Five Celtics were elected to 10 or more All-Star Games.

Bob Cousy (13 / 13)
John Havlicek (13 / 13)
Bill Russell (12 / 12)
Larry Bird (12 / 10)

Close, but no cigar:

I say Bob's answer of Bocce is also correct.

I remember seeing a few Jays games back then. Bocce is much closer to what they were playing.

Danny was OK at 3rd, not much of a stick though.

Correct, correct, correct.

We got DJ mostly for his defense. He was pretty good with the right elbow jumper as well.

I'm glad Danny switched over to basketball. I wonder where he'd be now if he had stuck with baseball?

1983-84, 1984-85 and 1985-86. Great times.

Thanks for playing.
