About Sports' Forgotten Heroes
Sports' Forgotten Heroes is a tribute to the stars who shaped the games we love to watch and the games we love to play. Sports' Forgotten Heroes is not about reliving the careers of superstars we talk about every day like Muhammed Ali, Jim Brown, Babe Ruth or Michael Jordan. Rather, Sports' Forgotten Heroes is about the stars who have faded away with time. Some were elected to their respective Hall of Fame, others might have had one great season, or just one great game that will live in infamy. Guys like Billy Cannon, Ed Delahanty and Bill Barilko - stars whom time has forgotten.

And the owners kind of took that as a signal to them, although football was not nearly as important as baseball in 1943, especially pro football. But they took it as a signal that pro football should continue. And so the owners decided for the manpower shortage and because of the odd number of teams that they would merge two teams for the 1943 season. […]
