50 Years Have Passed Since The Greatest Game Ever Played

That Game was in Yankee Stadium I(The place that closed, recently, was the 2nd Stadium on the same site). The Baltimore Colts vs The NY Giants were really the 1st Nationally Telecast NFL Championship Game, putting the NFL on The Map:

Before the Championship Game, The NFL was followed on a Regional basis. The New England Region received NY Giants Telecasts on CBS Affiliates all over New England, especially, Boston, Hartford and Providence(This may explain why in the Boston and Providence Areas, that during Super Bowl XLII, there was still a tremendous following of NY Giants Fans vs the N E Patriots);

Bob Wolff did the Perfect Game(1956 World Series Telecast), and did the "Greatest Game Ever Played", Game Call;

The Colts are in Indianapolis, but not recognized by the NFL as the Baltimore Franchise. The NY Giants may be playing in NJ, across the Hudson River, but are still here in the area;

The NFL as we know it, was born on this day;

At Least Post Season didn't last into Mid-February;

The Coach of the Baltimore Colts, Weeb Eubank, would also win Super Bowl III, on 01/12/1969, as the AFL NY Jets, defeated the Baltimore Colts, at the Orange Bowl in Miami, FL;

Later!
