Roger Staubach
He joined the Dallas Cowboys as a 27-year-old rookie in 1969 due to his commitment in the Navy. He did not win the regular quarterbacking job until his third season in 1971. In the nine seasons he was in command of the Cowboys attack, they played in six NFC championship games, winning four of them, and also scored victories in Super Bowls VI and XII.

Video footage of Hall of Famer Casey Stengel, Gil Hodges, and the 1962 Mets at the Polo Grounds
Polo Grounds I was originally built in 1883 and, after many modifications, was named Polo Grounds IV in 1911. The Giants played there until moving west in 1957. The horseshoe shape had the left and right field walls less than 300 feet and the centerfield wall was almost 500 feet. The bullpens were in fair territory in left and right center. The New York Mets played there in 1962-1963.
The phrase "Hot Dog" was coined by NY Journal sports cartoonist Tad Dorgan when he couldn't remember how to spell the word "dachshund" in describing the "red hot dachshund sausages" served at a game here in April 1901.
