08 Jan

Courtesy of www.CheckOutMyCards.com , a 1958 Topps football card of former linebacker Les Richter, who played 9 seasons in the NFL. After starting out in 1952 with the New York Yanks (who folded) and Dallas Texans, he was traded to the Los Angeles Rams for 11 players, the second most amount of players ever given up for a single player in league history. Richter was outstanding, playing in 8 Pro Bowls in his 9 year career. After football, he was involved in auto racing, serving as head of operations for NASCAR and as president of Riverside International Speedway. Richter passed away in 2010, and was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame posthumously in 2011.
