To Know Him Is to Love Him

Alan Ameche went from Heisman Trophy Winner to UPI NFL Rookie of the Year and was the starting Running Back for the Baltimore Colts for six seasons.  That was from 1955 to 1960, the glory period for Baltimore.   We have referenced the two straight Championships for Baltimore (and we will again) and the “Greatest Game Ever Played”.  Ameche was a part of that and was the man who scored the winning touchdown in that game.

Following Johnny Unitas couldn’t be easy.

A former Super Bowl Champion, Offensive Lineman, Bob Vogel would helm the Left Tackle slot for the Baltimore Colts for a decade earning five Pro Bowls and a First Team All-Pro nod along the way.  Vogel remains an icon in Professional Football in Baltimore.
