24 Nov

60fleerdimitroff

1960 Fleer football card of Tom Dimitroff, who may be the player with the smallest playing resume in pro football history to get his own bubble gum card. He played in the Canadian Football League for the Ottawa Rough Riders in 1957 and ’58, then retired. He came out of retirement in 1960 to sign with the new American Football League’s New York Titans, but never played a game for them. He hooked up later that year with the Boston Patriots of the AFL, and played in 3 games for them, throwing 2 incomplete passes. Dimitroff’s son, Thomas Dimitroff, Jr. is the current general manager of the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons.
