"Hail To The Redskins"
Five BURGUNDY & GOLD Stars!! In "The Redskins Encyclopedia", Michael Richman has pulled together an awesome amount of historical, biographical, and statistical information into a single volume that could be a great reference book in the sports den of any 'Skins fan. I've been a fan on and off for decades and this book has impressive information that I did not know and other information that caused a rush of memories about this wonderful football team. How many of us knew that they started in Boston? (C'mon, be honest. LOL) Or about the previous winning NFL seasons that preceded the seasonal success of George Allen and the 3 SuperBowl successes of Joe Gibbs. From first coach Lud Wray to the return of Joe Gibbs, each season is given a trechant and concisely detailed examination. There is a chapter on the top 20 "monuments" (George Allen, Sammy Baugh, John Riggins are showcased among many others). And another chapter on the 100 next most influential Redskins, giving each one appropriate space (Remember Joe Jacoby, Dexter Manley, Mark May, Neal Olkewicz, Doug Williams, Mark Rypien, Billy Kilmer, Chris Hanburger, and Joe Theismann? OK, those were easy: how about Pete Wysocki, Joe Washington, Bob Toneff, Jerry Smith, and Rusty Tillman? If you got those, you're a big fan!). And the statistics appendix gives the complete history of team records, drafts, team rosters, games played, and many other appropriate statistics. In all, a wonderful encyclopedic view of the 'Skins that will provide many hours of pleasurable reading for the Redskins fan and easily accessible statistics. Highly recommended! Five IMPRESSIVE Stars. (Hardcover, 420 pages, Black & White Photos)
