There Were Giants in Those Days From 1954 to 1963, a football team named the Giants loved, and was loved by, New York on Sundays. The Giants mattered more than most things. During this time, the Giant's boasted the largest season-ticket subscription in the world, captured the Eastern conference six times, and played in what every football fan agrees to be the "greatest game ever played"- the overtime championship game with the Baltimore Colts in 1958. Filled with personal anecdotes from players and coaches that reconstruct the drama and excitement of the plays and games during that eventful era, this book takes a nostalgic look at this beloved team who was the most responsible for exploding professional football into the American consciousness. |
