Giants and Heroes: A Daughter's Memories of Y. A. Tittle Book

Football giant Y. A. Tittle was the most magical and unlikely quarterback hero of the 1960s - the old man performing miracles in a young man's game as he lifted a mediocre New York Giants team to championship level and earned his place in the Football Hall of Fame. Dianne Tittle de Laet, an accomplished poet and harpist - who also happens to be the daughter of Y. A. Tittle - has written a life of the man that, unlike any other football book, is at its heart a father/daughter story. Assembled in the manner of a scrapbook of memories, family lore, and photographs, Giants & Heroes follows Y. A. through his youth in East Texas, his college days at LSU, and a professional career in which he shattered passing records while playing for the Baltimore Colts, the San Francisco 49ers, and the New York Giants.
