Tobin Cornelius Rote died: June 27, 2000 (aged 72) in Saginaw, Michigan.
I remember Tobin Rote being a big star for the Toronto Argonauts back in the early 1960's. I was an Ottawa Rough Riders fan in the CFL back then as well as a Green Bay Backer fan.
Tobin Rote was very special.
** His 38 TD passes in 1960 was an all-time CFL record.
** In 1961 Tobin Rote completed a 108 yard pass play to 'Florida Gator Great Jim Rountree' that's still a team record.
** In 1960 Rote threw 7 touchdown passes in a game twice and a CFL record at that time.
