Answer To The SB XLI Question to The History Of The Colts
The Colts Franchise History includes Dayton, OH, & the team was called the Triangles, from 1920 until 1929:
From 1930 to 1943, the Team was the NFL Brooklyn Dodgers & played in Ebbets Field. In 1944, the team's name was the Brooklyn Tigers & also played in Ebbets Field;
In 1945, the Boston Yanks & Brooklyn Tigers merged, with 4 Games played in Fenway Park & 1 Game in Ebbets Field;
From 1946 to 1947, the Yanks were at Fenway Park;
In 1948, the team moved back to NYC & played as the NY Bulldogs at The Polo Grounds;
From 1949 to 1951, the team was called the NY Yankees & played in Yankee Stadium;
In 1952, the team was moved to Dallas & became the Texans;
In 1953, the team became the Baltimore Colts & stayed until 1983, moving to Indianapolis in 1984;
Until they became the Baltimore Colts, one can truly say that these Yankees, well, just plain old SUCKED;
As the Brooklyn Dodgers, it was that team which was the 1st NFL team to host a home game on the NBC Television Network, to very few TV Sets(350 In NYC) in 1939;
The Old-Time Baltimore Colts do not recognize the Indianapolis Colts as true successors in the historical timeline of the Franchise;
Pro Football Hall of Famer Art Donovan was with the Team, when it was the NY Yankees & with the World Champion Baltimore Colts, who defeated the NY Giants in the Title Game in 1958, in Yankee Stadium. Art Donovan was born Bronx Irish, in 1925 & used to be a guest on "Late Night With David Letterman" on NBC;
In the early '30s, the NFL had a team in Staten Island called the Stapes & Brooklyn did play road games in that borough;
In 1970, after the merger of the AFL & NFL, as the NY Jets were now an NFL Team, at Shea Stadium, when the Baltimore Colts came into Shea Stadium, for the 1st Time, they made history as the 1st NFL Team, ever to have played an NFL Game in all 5 Boroughs of NYC;
The NY Giants are only the 2nd Team to have accomplished that feat, along with the Chicago Bears & Detroit Lions;
The end of that History;
