Summary: Good reading...great memories
Comment: A very enjoyable read with great stories about the AFL. The year by year approach works well here and keeps the book flowing. The only problem with the volume is, it's too short! Ed, how about a team by team approach of the AFL with more specifics and greater length?

Rating: 4
Summary: Gruver shows the making of the NFL as we now know it.
Comment: Author Ed Gruver documents the beginnings of the American Football League, its glory days and the popularity and power it gained that eventually led to its merger with the NFL. Detailed are the origins of the "Foolish Club", the 10 team owners that dared challenge the NFL, the scramble to find and sign talent and the acsension of the league in the public's conciousness. Gruver describes the League's innovations on the field and off and the details behind the 1966 merger (who'd have thought that placekicker Pete Gogolak was instrumental in hastening the process?). If Cookie Gilchrist, Abner Hayes and Charlie Hennigan are just names in a record book to you and you love pro football, get this book. It'll also tell you exactly what happened between the Raiders and Jets when NBC cut their broadcast short to air "Heidi" in 1968!
