My grandmom was a lifelong Giants fan, and she acquired a few souvenirs over the years. She had a pennant that she would keep by the chair next to her beer, a rather snarky letter from Wellington Mara in reply to a letter she sent complaining about the state of the field after a particular muddy day where players were slipping and tripping all game. She also had this autographed picture of Jumbo Elliott, and she would bring it out at the beginning of every season and placed it in honored place atop the TV. This picture witnessed some great seasons and probably heard some salty language.
It became mine when she passed a few years ago, and now I continue the tradition and by bringing it out and putting it where Jumbo can watch the Giants play. Let's hope he brings us some luck today. I hope he sees some great football, and I guarantee he'll hear some salty language.
That’s awesome! For sure a name I haven’t heard in a few years. Good on ya for keeping the tradition alive.
