Some childhood memories..

First, a triva qustion..who was the other member, along with Webster, of the Giants' "elephant backfield."

As a kid growing up in the Bx in the 50s, my best friend Andy's father was a very successful atty. Divorced, he lived in the Concourse Plaza Hotel,( back then a very swanky place) a few blocks from Yankee Stadium, ( where the Giants then played) and where the majority of the Giants lived during the football season. Andy and I were in temple together, and one weekend a month he would stay with his father at the hotel, and I'd often spend the weekend with him. I remember roaming the lobby and halls, and meeting many of the players...Huff, Robustelli, YA Tittle, Shoffner..I had all the autographs..wish I had kept them..of couse, I also rememebr trading a Micky Mantle baseball card when I was 7..
