Perspective Of An Average Steelers Fan: Confessions Of A Dirty Ballplayer

Finished reading Confessions of a Dirty Ballplayer by Johnny Sample. He authored the book back in 1970 just a couple years removed from winning Super Bowl III as the New York Jets defensive captain.

Sample played college ball for Maryland State College, now University of Maryland Eastern Shore. He was the 2nd football player ever drafted from there into the NFL after Sherman Plunkett. Sadly, his alma mater that produced NFL stars like Art Shell, Carl Hairston and Emerson Boozer shut its football program down in 1979.
