10 Nov

1968 Topps football card of former pro football quarterback Jim Hart, who played an amazing 19 seasons in the NFL, all but one of those years with the old St. Louis Cardinals. His best days were in the mid-1970s, when he quarterbacked coach Don Coryell’s “Cardiac Cards”, a nickname the team earned by winning 10 games over a three year period with late game-winning drives engineered by Hart. Although he threw more interceptions than touchdown passes over his career, Hart was still a four-time Pro Bowler. After retiring, Hart co-owned a restaurant with teammate Dan Dierdorf, did some broadcasting on WGN with Dick Butkus, and served as athletic director at his alma mater, Southern Illinois.
