Sobre este artículo
New York: Longmans, Green & Co., 1927. First Edition. Hardcover. Owner inscription on the half-title page. Near Fine, lacking the scarce dustwrapper. Cloth. Illustrated with photographs. SIGNED on the front endpaper "Sincerely,/Amos Alonzo Stagg/December, 1927." A scarce early inscription before his writing became shaky by one of the most important figures in American sports. Stagg, the first to be elected to the Football Hall of Fame as both player and coach, was active in the sport until the age of 98. He is credited with originating more plays and formations than any other man and, among other developments, is responsible for the forward pass, the huddle, and numbered uniforms. Stagg also invented the indoor batting cage and pioneered the headlong slide in baseball. In addition Stagg participated in the first public basketball game on 11 March 1892, scoring his team's only basket, and the first intercollegiate basketball game on 18 January 1896. He is said to be responsible for the concept of five-man basketball. Of the Grand Old Man of the Game, Knute Rockne once said, "All football comes from Stagg."
