“This is the home of two of the teams that George played for,” Luke Poling explained. “He would be the answer to the Jeopardy question of: Who’s the only person to have played with the Bruins and the Celtics?”

Playing goalie for the Bruins is just one example of George Plimpton’s many “amateur intrusions.”
