When Tim Mara founded the New York Giants football team in 1925, his son
Wellington Mara (1916-2005) was the ball boy. After graduating from
Fordham, Wellington became the team's Treasurer in 1937. He was
President of the club from 1959 until his death in 2005. Under Mara's
stewardship, the Giants won 6 NFL titles, including Super Bowls XXI and
XXV. Foregoing the advantage of the League's most lucrative market, Mara
promoted a system of revenue sharing which contributed greatly to the
NFL's success. He was popular with team players and supportive when they faced
adversity. Mara entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1997. Ink note (unknown hand) on verso (no show
through). Otherwise, fine condition.
