The Oral History of a Legendary Team
By Jim Baker and Bernard Corbett
Bloomsbury Publishing
For football fans growing up with the New York Giants comes this treasure trove of insightful anecdotes and personal experiences covering some of the biggest games in this storied franchise’s history.
Authors Baker and Corbett adroitly let those who played, coached and watched these pivotal thirteen games create a riveting collection of mind’s-eye details from each of the games selected. (Interestingly the authors chose NOT to cover the so-called ‘greatest game ever played’, the Giants vs. Colts in the 1958 NFL Championship, saying it has already been given ‘plenty of attention’.)
David Tyree's Historic Super Bowl Reception
In between the rumors of fixes in the 1946 title game against the Bears to the winning drive against the Patriots in the 2008 Super Bowl, some of the Giant’s biggest stars and unheralded performers talk about what really happened in the most memorable games in the New York Giants’ eighty-five year history.
From YA Tittle and Frank Summerall to Michael Strahan and David Tyree, the authors provide an engrossing context for these participants to tell readers the inside story of some of the best and worst moments in Giants’ history.
