2 Chet Stone: The Mayor of Dillon Field House by Joe Bertagna ‘73

When I was a�ending Arlington High School back in the 1960’s, a li�le ways up Massachuse�s Avenue from Harvard Square, I enjoyed a great a�er-school ritual. There was this build- ing adjacent to the high school that housed my mother’s dance studio in the back and Holovak & Coughlin Sporting Goods in the front. I would hit my mother up for some spending money, amid a flurry of doting mothers and pink tutus, and then walk into the store to hang out with this cool guy named Chet Stone. He was a wise guy, even then. And I mean “wise” in every way that comes to mind. He once pinned me down and gave me an impromptu haircut when I was 12, claiming to this day that my father asked him to do so. He had opinions on everything. And he could string words together in ways at which I still marvel. Chet was in the midst of a successful career balancing his day job in the sports equipment business, with sidelines as a high school official and a semi-pro athlete. How good was he? A mem- ber of the Boston Park League Hall of Fame, Chet spent 15 years in its league and another 10 playing football. He was MVP in both during the 60’s. Our paths later crossed at Harvard when I tended goal in the early 1970’s. He is still there some three decades a�er replacing Chet wed his longtime girlfriend Valerie in the summer of 2005. another legend, the late Jimmy Cunniff, in the winter of 1971-1972.

It was his performance in the broadcast booth with the Cosmos that led to his eventually working numerous FIFA World Cups and Olympic Soccer Tournaments for various networks. In his long career in the booth, Malin has called games for each of the big three networks (ABC, CBS and NBC), as well as ESPN. To this day, Malin still calls major European matches for ESPN International. Playing for four years with the Crimson, Malin was the team’s leading scorer and an All-Ivy selection in 1960.
