Abstract

The Boston Celtics' 7-foot-6 center was a guest conductor during the Boston Pops orchestra's holiday concert. Fall led the orchestra in a rendition of the song "Sleigh Ride" at Symphony Hall on Monday night, wearing a custom-made, size-48 double extra-long tuxedo. Longtime conductor Keith Lockhart presented Fall a baton with "Congratulations to Tacko!" written on it in green marker, the Boston Globe reported. "Someone has come on the scene here and in a few short months has stolen everybody's hearts," Lockhart said. The audience cheered as Fall did a spin and wiggled his arms in time with the music.
