My Brother-in-law wearing one of those rings......
No he didn't play, he is a Dr in Tampa and is a huge Yanks fan. Happen to run into someone wearing it and they let him wear it long enough to take the picture..... Looks like the 1998 one...
A friend of mines father was on the last Detroit Lions championship team . . . . 1957. Gil Mains, Jon Madden called him "the best wedge breaker of all time". What a character, went on to pro big time wrestling in the 60's. He told me the most he ever made as a pro ball player was like fifteen grand a year and his first year in pro wrestling was like seventy grand. He also told me (as a wrestler) you have no idea what its like to have fifty thousand people booing you . . . . . bet he's glad to not be a Lion these days
He wore his championship ring every day. Took it off one time and handed it to me, it would not stay on my thumb. Big dude
someone I'm glad to have known, passed on January of this year.
