Boston Celtics jersey history No. 18 - Bob Harris (1950-54)
Boston Celtics jersey history No. 18 - Bob Harris (1950-54) The Boston Celtics have had players suiting up in a total of 68 different jersey numbers (and have three others not part of any numerical series) since their founding at the dawn of the Basketball Association of America (BAA -- the league that would become today's NBA), worn by well over 500 players in the course of Celtics history. To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Celtics Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. With 25 of those jerseys now retired to honor some of the greatest Celtics to wear those jerseys, there is a lot of history to cover. And for today's article, we will continue with the first of seven people to wear the No. 18 jersey, Boston forward alum Bob Harris. After ending his college career at Oklahoma State, Harris was picked up with the third overall selection of the 1949 BAA draft by the (then) Fort Wayne (now, Detroit) Pistons. The Linden, Tennessee native would play parts of the first two seasons of his pro career with the Pistons before he was dealt to Boston in 1950. His stay with the team would span four seasons, ending when he was dealt back to Fort Wayne in 1954. During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Harris wore only jersey Nos. 18 and 13 and put up 6.7 points, 7.1rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.

Local shops see influx in customers as gardeners prepare for spring planting
Despite a lot of people being excited to start working on projects that come with the spring season, garden experts said you might want to hold off on planting for a bit. While there are some plants, especially vegetables, that can do just fine in the cold, what really can hurt any plant is a frost. Home & Garden Expo returns with every way to improve your home Plus, the ground hasn't had much time to warm up. Bob Harris, general manager at Gerlach's Garden and Floral said it's a bit too early to start getting some things into the ground. Construction on Kahkwa Bridge set to resume in near future 'The young plants are usually very tender. People like to get them and get them out, but you could lose them very fast,' said Harris. 'Usually you have a good feel, but they always tell you after the last frost but you never know when that is going to be. A lot of people put them in and protect them, but when the ground is still cold, you're really not doing much. Harris said what you can do is make sure you have seeds, fertilizer and any equipment ahead of time. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
