Great stories in the Washington Post about Sammy
Incredible Athelete..One Tough Texan..
Robert Duvall even spent time with Sammy as inspiration for the character "Gus" in Lonesome Dove.....

"Slingin' Sammy" still holds several team passing records.
He was truly one of those larger than life legends of the game.
He brought the foreward pass to an art form in a time when the game was primarily a running affair.
Thanks Sammy
RIP
