On December 28, 1958, the New York Giants and Baltimore Colts met
under the lights of Yankee Stadium for the NFL Championship game.
Played in front of sixty-four thousand fans and millions of
television viewers around the country, the game would be remembered
as the greatest in football history. On the field and roaming the
sidelines were seventeen future Hall of Famers, including Colts
stars Johnny Unitas, Raymond Berry, and Gino Marchetti, and Giants
greats Frank Gifford, Sam Huff, and assistant coaches Vince
Lombardi and Tom Landry. An estimated forty-five million
viewers—at that time the largest crowd to have ever
watched a football game—tuned in to see what would become
the first sudden-death contest in NFL history. It was a battle of
the league's best offense—the Colts—versus its
best defense—the Giants. And it was a contest between the
blue-collar Baltimore team versus the glamour boys of the Giants
squad. The Best Game Ever is a brilliant portrait of how a single
game changed the history of American sport. Published to coincide
with the fiftieth anniversary of the championship, it is destined
to be a sports classic.
