ITPC JUNE 2013 SPORTS MEMORABILIA AUCTION- 300 LOTS
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/22/2013
In the 1956 National Football League Championship Game played at Yankee Stadium in New York City on 30 December 1956, the New York Giants defeated the Chicago Bears 47-7. It was the 24th annual NFL championship game.
The game was played on an icy field. To adjust to the conditions, the Giants opted to wear sneakers instead of traditional football cleats. The advantage the sneakers provided in footing was cited as a major factor in New York's romp. Twenty-two years earlier on an icy Polo Grounds field, the Giants had employed the same tactic and beat the Bears to win the 1934 NFL Championship in the famous "Sneakers Game."
This program is in fantastic condition. There is only the slight hint of minor wear on the cover. It is loaded with great picttures and articles.
