Yankee Stadium Tribute
The New York Giants called Yankee Stadium home from 1956 through 1973 and, on December 28, 1958, played in what is widely recognized as "the greatest game ever played." With the NFL championship at stake, a crowd of 64,185 watched the Baltimore Colts tie the game 17-17 with seven seconds left. Eight minutes into professional footballs first-ever "sudden death" overtime, the Colts' Alan Ameche went in off right tackle from the one-yard line, ending a classic game that would help establish the NFL.
