It is also the birthday of former Celtics guard Jack Garfinkle, who played three seasons between 1946 and 1949 with Boston in its Basketball Association of America days, the precursor league of the NBA.
A product of St. John’s, Garfinkle logged 5.2 points and 1.5 assists per game with the club; they had yet to begin recording rebounds.
