Franco Harris dies, aged 72
There goes a piece of my childhood. RIP to the Commander of his own Italian Army.
And may our enemies, if they exist, be unconscious of our purpose. - From The Lady Vanishes
Re: Franco Harris dies, aged 72
We laughed at time but Franco’s habit of running out of bounds to avoid hits kept him playing for 13 seasons and included a 1000 yard rushing season when he was 32. He was remarkably durable for an RB missing very few games for Steelers.
He made HOF in his thirties. That won’t happen happen much again.

Within a span of a couple of years - in my formative years - I watched live on TV man walk on the moon, watched live the immaculate reception and watched in person Tulane shutout lsu. Not sure which miracle surpasses the others...on second thought I know which one.
