February 6, 2023: Football Figures: Pudge Heffelfinger

[For this year’s annual Super Bowl series, I wanted to focus on some football figures & communities. Leading up to a special weekend tribute to some of our best current public scholarly SportsStudiers!]

I couldn’t feature a series on football figures without sharing my Saturday Evening Post Considering History column on the first professional football player, the amazingly nicknamed (and really just named) William “Pudge” Heffelfinger. So in lieu of a post here, check out that above hyperlinked column if you would, thanks!

Next football figure tomorrow,

Ben

PS. What do you think? Football figures or communities you’d highlight?
