Few in our business afflicted the comfortable quite so persistently as Jonny Miller.<\/span><\/p>\n

Miller was back at Fenway Park on Saturday, celebrating his 77th birthday in the press box and watching the Red Sox play the Rangers.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Fenway was his office for 54 years when Miller was a reporter for WBZ Radio. From Eddie Kasko to Alex Cora, he asked managers tough questions when that was required.<\/span><\/p>\n

Miller also covered the Celtics for many years and tells stories about sitting in Red Auerbach\u2019s office at the old Garden and asking him about roster moves before going to the locker room to see Dave Cowens and John Havlicek.<\/span><\/p>\n

Miller covered a variety of events for WBZ over the years, but the Red Sox were a particular passion. The Newton native saw his first game at Fenway in 1958 with his father and was in the stands throughout his time as a student at Boston University.<\/span><\/p>\n
