GA Russell Posted April 4, 2015 Report Posted April 4, 2015 Eddie LeBaron has passed away at 85. RIP. I lived in Washington when I first collected bubble gum cards in 1959. LeBaron was the Redskins' quarterback, and I got his card! After that season, he told George Preston Marshall that he was ready to go home to Texas, and that he would either retire to practice law or play for the new expansion team, the Dallas Cowboys. So Marshall traded him to Dallas. http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/eddie-lebaron-the-diminutive-little-general-of-1950s-redskins-dies-at-85/2015/04/02/6be944ca-d940-11e4-ba28-f2a685dc7f89_story.html Quote
paul secor Posted April 4, 2015 Report Posted April 4, 2015 I remember him from my youth. Hadn't seen his name mentioned or thought about him for years. RIP, Mr. LeBaron. Quote
