Chris Willis or TanksAndSpartans might know the answer to this? Wouldnt the 1929 NY Giants be highly influential with Benny Friedman throwing for 20 TDs, or was it done before, without any official records being printed? Great question - I've been taking a pretty close look at pre-NFL starting in t...

That's not unfortunate! That's some of the best money I spend every year! :) Ha, Ha - same here. I resisted subscribing for years thinking they were overcharging for something that should be free, but as the actual free sources started drying up, I gave in and now I look at it the same way. I get m...

Also, would like to see Red Grange & Ernie Nevers (Benny Friedman too, I think he barnstormed a little) stats from their barnstorming days. For pre-statistical NFL seasons, this is a good summary: https://profootballresearchers.com/archives/Website_Files/Coffin_Corner/14-02-453.pdf Has anyone e...

I was able to get it through their historical society. Let me know if anyone needs anything on Shelby pre-NFL.

Does anyone have the 1906 Shelby Blues' schedule? I've pieced together some games from the newspapers, but I would love to have their actual schedule. I tried Tod's Pro Football Archives via the way back machine, but it looks like it starts with 1910. Thanks.

Good Catch! I didn't add it it up. Thanks.

Parratt 3
McAllister 2
Maxwell 2
Nesser 1

East 1
TD = 11*5=55+ 2 (PAT) = 57

I thought this was an interesting game. On 10-20-06, Massillon defeated Shelby 57-0. The Canton Morning News provided this boxscore: 18.png On the Shelby side, the most familiar names are Charles Follis and Nesser. Does anyone know which Nesser brother this would be? Maybe John? We find more familia...

I just purchased a copy. Looking forward to reading it!

Reminds me of my favorite football card set. I like the backs as much as the fronts. I would argue no other set squeezes so much info onto such a small amount of real estate.
