About this Item

First Edition, First Printing 1959. Very Good with Good DJ. If you want to experience what Pro Football was like before the halftime show became more important than the game itself, FOOTBALL'S MIRACLE MEN needs to be added to your library. The 1958 Baltimore Colts were a talented group of self-described knuckleheads with six future Hall of Fame players in their ranks. Though many had been rejected or underappreciated early in their careers, they were respected and loved by the fans in Baltimore, itself a rejected and underappreciated city. This book tells the complete story of the '58 Colts and the city's love affair with the team that played hard on and off the field, true pioneers of the game of football as we know it today. -- CONDITION: Book is Very Good+.

Library of Congress: 59-13624 -- "(John) Steadman has been a close friend and confidant of players, coaches and owners. He's followed the Colts as a fan, a writer, a broadcaster, and he's functioned as a team official.It's all here-the blood, sweat, humor and tears of thousands of people all wrapped up in a common cause. Football's Miracle Men is engaging, enlightening, warm and wonderful." - from the publishers.
