Classic Sports Card of The Day

29 Jun

A 1964 football card of the greatest player who ever lived, Cleveland Browns fullback Jim Brown. Brown was a freak of a physical specimen for his time, and his combination of speed and power was unmatched in the game. His Browns team won the NFL title in ’64, shutting out Don Shula’s heavily favored Baltimore Colts 27-0 in the championship game.  Brown retired prior to the 1966 season after only 9 years in the NFL to pursue an acting career, but his total career rushing yardage record stood until the late Walter Payton broke it in 1984, needing 13 seasons to surpass it. That’s a great old car on the card behind Brown, too, isn’t it?
