One Hall of Fame member I've focused on is Steve Owen. Steve was a friend of my father and I met him several times when I was young. Here's a picture of Steve as a child - he's in the middle.
![]() This is Steve's yearbook photo and yearbook autograph ![]() Here's Steve's introduction as a new NY Giant in 1926 ![]() Here's his autograph on a team signed page from 1929 ![]() And a picture as a player in 1930 ![]() And 1931, when he also took over as Giants Head Coach ![]() |

No, some confusion over that, especially when it comes to autographs. The Heisman winner was Owens, the Giants coach was Owen.

Now we are into his coaching career
In 1933 the Giants played the Bears in the first ever Championship playoff - here Steve signed the program ![]() He had three covers in the Diamond matchbooks, this one from 1934 ![]() In 1934 the Giants won the NFL Championship in the famous Sneakers game - the team was given small football watch fobs, this is Steve's ![]() ![]() Over the years there were many press photos of Steve as Coach ![]() ![]() ![]() This was from his 25th Anniversary as Coach - a silver tea set ![]() Steve got a card in the 1952 Bowman set ![]() Steve was a favorite after dinner speaker ![]() By 1953 the Giants were struggling and young players, like Frank Gifford, wanted Owen out, and he was "moved upstairs" The night before his last game he was on a television show and he's pictured here with his wife and my father - Steve is holding the game ball from the Sneakers Championship ![]() Here is looking at the field from his office before the last game ![]() Steve was hired by the Philadelphia Eagles ![]() Then went on to coach in Canadian football, where he is also in the Hall of Fame ![]() He eventually returned to the Giants where everyone thought he belonged - here is a book from his library signed by Earl "Greasy" Neale, sportswriter Frank Graham, Ken Strong and Elmer Layden - Strong writes "Still My Coach" ![]() |
