Every player, coach and front office person connected to the NFL should say take a minute of their time to reflect on the greatness of Sammy Baugh and his contributions to the development of the sport. Sadly, most won't.

I posted on the Thread over on the PreWar side that Sammy was one of my favorites as a kid growing up & collecting FB cards, but I never remember noticing until today the apparent misprint on the reverse!

Last line makes mention he turned down an offer from the Cardinals to play "football", which I'm sure was meant to be "baseball"!

Am I correct to assume this is on all cards issued--the dreaded UER?

Sammy Baugh is the greatest football player who ever lived. Greater than Jim Thorpe, greater than Jim Brown....
HOF quarterback, HOF punter, HOF safety

Anytime there is an argument, just ask what the average punting yardage, passing yardage and number of interceptions were in the other players' NFL career.

If memory serves me right, the St. Louis Cardinals were the St. Louis football team, starting in 1960. I think that you are right, they must have meant baseball. Sammy Baugh was an outstanding athlete. However, Jim Thorpe was a step above. Sammy had football and baseball under his belt, but Thorpe had those and was also an Olympic Gold medal winner. As for a pure football player, Sammy may be one of the greatest.

The card is right. He turned down a contract with the St. Louis Cardinals (baseball) to make a career in football. The Cardinals were of Chicago back then.
