Produktbeschreibung

In Green Bay Packers Firsts, Chuck Carlson presents the stories behind the firsts in Packers history in question-and-answer format. Carlson’s collection includes substantive answers to the question of who was the first…? on a variety of topics, many of which will surprise even seasoned fans of the Packers. In its more than one hundred-year history, Green Bay Packers fans have been treated to countless firsts: the Packers first NFL championship (1929), the Packers first league MVP (Don Hutson, 1941), the Packers first coach (Willard "Big Bill" Ryan), the first Packers NFL Draft choice (Russ Letlow, 1936), the first Packers quarterback to throw six touchdown passes in a game (Matt Flynn, 2012), the first Packers game on TV (1951), and the first Packer to rush for 1,000 yards (Tony Canadeo, 1949).
