Red Auerbach (1917-2006) was the most successful coach in American pro sports history. He retired in 1966, having won the last eight straight league championships, and nine of the last ten (including all ten conference titles).

Red died soon after the last Red Sox World Series championship in 2004, and was born shortly before the previous one in 1918. use.perl.org
