I'll never forget Y.A. Tittle as the Giants QB during 1961-63.

I read an article by Mr. Tittle's daughter a couple of years ago. In it she writes about taking Y.A. back to some of the places that he lived in as a younger person. She did this because Tittle wasn't in good shape mentally and she didn't think he had much time left. I hope he is able to celebrate this milestone birthday comfortably.
