hemma Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) I won the PPK for my age group in my little town back in 1962, which was the 1st year we competed. I think it was the 2nd year for the PPK.. Y.A. Tittle was supposed to be at the dinner to hand out the awards. Man, I was nervous/excited. He was on the Giants that year and I think every father and son in our area was a Giant fan. The whole town must have been jammed into that building, waiting for a chance to see Y.A. Tittle. Biggest thing .... maybe ever. Big snowstorm, cancelled flight announced while we all sat there, waiting.. Oh well, I almost shook his hand. Peace, Y.A.

RevWarRifleman Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 RIP YA. In the '62 championship game, he got hit so hard it cracked his helmet. It's in a glass case in the HOF in Canton. ***The helmet that is, not YA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
