Jim McMillen, HOVG

Post by TanksAndSpartans »

-One of the best of his era, Bob Carroll recognizes it here: http://www.profootballresearchers.org/a ... 05-233.pdf

-And this is a really good book for all-decade teams: https://www.abebooks.com/9780020283003/ ... 283008/plp

-Postseason honors each year he played here: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/ ... MiJi20.htm

Sonnenberg is another good option for HOVG: https://www.profootballresearchers.org/ ... 084#p38886

Interesting... he was an "owner," too.

In 1932 he was given the chance to buy stock in the Bears. This purchase eventually allowed him to become one of the team's vice presidents.

Nice find. Thanks @JuggernautJ. After working on the '20s and '30s all decade teams, I feel my 5 nominations may be set for life:

Sonnenberg
McMillen
Latone
Christensen
Gutowsky
