The 3 best running backs I have ever seen are Jim Brown, Gayle Sayers and Walter Payton.

The great HOFer Edward Charles "Whitey" Ford passed away at 91 at his home on Long Island the other day with his wife and family at his side.. He had been recently suffering from Alzeimer's Disease and was mattied to his wife for 69 years I think it read.
I remember 1961 like it was yesterday when Whitey, The Chairman Of The Board, posted a 25-5 record while the M & M boys were assaulting the Bambino's season HR record of 60. That year along with The Impossible Dream Bosox of 1967 were for me the ultimate fantastic years to follow baseball.
Whitey is about the last one left from the old gang of Pinstripers who won and won and won. I was born in pinstripes and worshipped the Yanks as a young man. The bllom was off the rose when the jerks at CBS bought the team and then porked Yogi as manager for losing the 7th game of the 1964 WS against the St Louis Cardinals when Kenny Boyer hit the key HR.
My hero The Mick got through a couple of years later so I joined with The Impossible Dream team.
Imagine rooting for the Yanks, Celtics, Bruins and NY Football Giants and PC in my younger days. A championship almost every year for Dexter

A championship almost every year for Dexter I had a similar transition, spending my first 10 years in Bridgeport, CT, '54-'64, so NY-based media and very much in tune with the '61 Yankees, etc. (I should've kept my Maris/Mantle jacket that I got after the '61 season.) Then we moved to Cape Cod and I became despondent about sports during that '65 season, the Red Sox being perennial cellar dwellers. But then I discovered Jimmy Walker and Providence College basketball on Channel 10, and my father took me to Fenway in '66 and I got Joe Foy's autograph (I didn't know the players very well ... in the moment I thought he was George Scott). And, of course, the '67 season followed and I got hooked.
