One piece of history that I'm surprised to be having problems with is identifying starters in the Pro Bowl, mostly from the 60's and early 70's. I'm noticing mistakes in media guides, and discrepancies in old newspapers from that era. Does anyone know of a good source for finding this information?
If this hasn't been mentioned before the old NFL Record Manuals used to contain box scores of the Pro Bowls and the Chicago All-Star Game complete with the starting line ups. I have from 1970 on up but nothing further back. However, the Hesburg library on the campus of Notre Dame have the 1960s editions in their archives and they do take research request. They once copied an entire old media guide for me and they are very cordial and professional.
I appreciate the info! I think I'll give that a try. Thanks again!
