Wellington: The Maras, the Giants, and the City of New York

This book tells the history of one of the classiest men in the history of not only the NFL, but all of sports. Even those of you who are not Giants fans could appreciate Wellington's contributions to the NFL after reading this book. It's so much more than just a Giants history lesson (as so many books before it unfortunately are). Only glaring issue was the score for Superbowl XXI was wrong -- ouch! Overall this is absolute must read for Giants fans of all ages. "Wellington" reminded me why I live and die with this team.

This book appeals to the NY Football Giants fan and the die hard NFL fan who wants to learn about the early days of the League. Mr. Mara was a man who put League before team, something not seen these days in the league. Mr. Mara was a man who was there for his players, not only in a professional relationship but as mentor and father figure. Mr. Mara is sorely missed, but we can see his name "The Duke" stamped on today's game ball. To see why, and lots of other great stories, read this book.
