Perk becomes pitchman for MBTA
By Globe Staff
Kendrick Perkins is a man of few words, letting his rebounding and defensive tenacity do his talking as a 6-foot, 10-inch force in the low post for the Celtics.

That will change today at noon for MBTA riders who will hear Perk's voice every 30 minutes in a plug for the CharlieCard that will be broadcast throughout the subway system.
"As a center for the Boston Celtics, I've got to be fast," Perkins says in the announcement. "That's why I like the CharlieCard."
Perkins concludes: "So when it comes to taking the T, it's a slam dunk. Use the CharlieCard."
The announcement will air through the NBA Finals, which begin tonight. Extra MBTA service will be added for the series against the Los Angeles Lakers. Subway service will be extended if games end late, and the last commuter rail trains out of North Station will be held until the game ends, departing 15 minutes after the final buzzer.
