GREAT GIANTS OF THE PAST

MEL HEIN, Center, never missed a game in 15 years, Pro Football Hall of Fame, 8 time All Pro in consecutive seasons, The FIRST MVP -- National Football League MVP 1938, the ONLY Offensive Lineman ever selected...his number 7 retired by The Giants...

"We were playing the Bears one time, in the years before facemasks, and just as I snapped the ball, George Musso, a 260-pound nose tackle for the Bears, slugged me in the face.  I told him not to do that again, but on the play he did the same thing.  So on the following snap, I was ready. I hiked the ball with one hand and with the other I hit Musso with an uppercut square in the face.  I could tell he really felt it, and he left me alone for the rest of the game."

Keywords: First MVP, Giants Greats, Mel Hein, NFL Hall of Fame
