I grew up watching him play for the Giants when the Giants were the only football team you could watch on TV in Connecticut. He looked like he was 90 when he played as he was famously bald

(https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/09/obituaries/ya-tittle-dead-giants-quarterback-in-hall-of-fame.html)Y. A. Tittle, the Hall of Fame quarterback who led the Giants to three consecutive National Football League championship games in the early 1960s after the San Francisco 49ers had discarded him as too old and too slow, died on Sunday night in Stanford, Calif. He was 90.

Louisiana State University, where he played his college ball, announced his death.

I was never a Giants fan. They played in Yankee Stadium back then and since I hated they Yankees, I transferred that hate to the Giants.

September 20, 1964, Giants lost 27-24 at Pitt Stadium, his 17th and last year, after a pick six. This picture was in Life magazine. It hangs in the National Press Photographers HQ with raising the flag on Iwo Jima and the Hindenburg disaster.

One of the greatest sport photos of all time. I remember seeing it as a kid (12 at the time). He was a warrior. RIP.
