The 1958 NFL Championship between the New York Giants and Baltimore Colts was a terrible game technically and artistically, as the late Frank Gifford described it, but the people were extraordinary. So much so that the 17 Hall of Famers who had a role in the contest attracted a national television audience, many of them newcomers to the league, and the game became known in football lore as “The Greatest Game Ever Played.” The Colts won, 23-17, in sudden-death victory at Yankee Stadium on Dec. 28, 1958. Out of the game grew these larger-than-life figures. The game featured 17 future members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. For the Giants: Gifford, Roosevelt Brown, Sam Huff, Tom Landry (asst. coach), Vince Lombardi (asst. coach), Tim Mara (Owner), Wellington Mara (Vice President and Secretary), Don Maynard, Andy Robustelli, and Emlen Tunnell. For the Colts: Raymond Berry, Art Donovan, Weeb Ewbank (coach), Gino Marchetti, Lenny Moore, Jim Parker and, of course, Unitas.
