It's okay to google this one because I don't think there are enough true geeks to know it. |

He was one of two QBs that year. The other one was Charlie Morrel or something like that |

Z, right you are.
TS, Rote replaced Bobby Lane at the end of the '57 season & took the Lions to the Championship. |

I said you can google the pitcher, you'll never get it otherwise.
If you want to try it on your own here's a hint: He played for the Wolverines |

I'm proud of you, Z.
The only reason I know much about him is that his widow is my neighbor. Which only goes to prove that professional players weren't paid all that well back then. |
