Product Overview
Here is a stirring football story about the men who "play for pay". Its hero could well be Sid Luckman or Sammy Baugh, so realistic is the story of professional football and the New York Giants. Here are the training camps, the coaches, and Barney Piggott, the successful owner of the team, shown against a big-league background of clashes between the Giants and their traditional rivals, the Chicago Bears and the Philadelphia Eagles.
The struggle of Tommy Rogers, famous retired quarterback, to train the fresh young rookie who succeeds him makes an exciting, unusual tale. Particularly interesting are the descriptions of quarterback strategy, highlighted by Robert Candy's drawings of famous plays.
Frank Waldman, the author of The Pink Panther series, depicts a realistic view of professional football in 1950. This book is acceptable condition. The dustjacket is intact but is acceptable, as there are tears and missing portions, particularly on the spine. Light discoloration on the cloth boards, no interior markings. Pages are clean.
