A Research Project For Our Brilliant Stat Rats

I picked up an old book off of my Dad's shelf over the weekend, The Green Bay Packers Pro Football's Pioneer Team, written by Chuck Johnson. It chronicles the 1960 season as well as a history of the team up until that year. It was interesting to read that Bart Starr had his first touchdown pass of the 1960 season against the Bears at Wrigley Field in the first week of December. I had to read the sentence 3 times.

I have been reading about Johnny Blood (great story about how he was chased out of the last car of a train by a lineman and had to climb on the top of the train and run/jump to the engine and jump in the window for safety).

Arnie Herber...sounds like he had a rocket for an arm. And Clarke Hinkle. He sounds like a badass who could run through a wall, we could use him now. Maxie, do remember any of these guys?

Oh, I remember them, but I never saw them play. A bit before my time. They played during the team's first glory years. After the war times were tough for the Packers. I started following them seriously when Lombardi took over for Scooter McLean in the late 50's.
