From the 1920s through the 1940s, pro football players were paid only hundreds of dollars per game and rarely had substitutes. The conditions and times of this era are vividly recalled by such players as Red Grange, Johnny Blood, Clarke Hinkle, Ace Parker, Shipwreck Kelly, Mel Hein, Sammy Baugh, Don Hutson, and Sid Luckman. The players also reveal personal glimpses of how they got started in football, the conditions on the field, their life away from it, and their memories of outstanding games and competing against such giants as Jim Thorpe. \u003cp\u003eFull of wry and wonderful anecdotes, \u003ci\u003eWhat A Game They Played\u003c\/i\u003e invites sports fans to experience the fresh and inventive early years of pro football, a game played in an America quite different from what it is today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Whittingham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803298196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803298194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bison Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 235\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.06w x 0.56d","brand":"Richard Whittingham","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43943518863615,"sku":"9780803298194","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_08ccb962-e512-435d-bf46-6a3a3e465fc7.jpg?v=1681498568","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-a-game-they-played-richard-whittingham-9780803298194","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
