The 2010 season starts tomorrow. I can’t think of a better time to start this blog.
With the Super Bowl Champs hosting the Minnesota Vikings I felt it was best to start this blog off with a New Orleans Saint.
New Orleans was granted a NFL Franchise for the 1967 season, the same year the Toronto Maple Leafs won their last Stanley Cup. The NFL needed congressional approval of the AFL-NFL Merger. Louisianan politicians wanted a Pro Football team, they met in a seedy hotel room, a little back door dealing (is that the right term) and you can guess what happen next. Now why on earth did I choose Obert Logan instead of Archie Manning or Drew Brees. Two reasons…..
1) Obert is my oldest Saint Card.
2) My Son’s first name is Logan.
Facts about Obert Logan
• Obert Clark "Butch" Logan (December 6, 1941 - January 21, 2003)
• Played safety for the Dallas Cowboys and the New Orleans Saints.
• He played college football for Trinity University.
• Was the last person in the NFL to wear the single digit 0.
• Played a total of three seasons, record 8 interceptions.
Why I like this card?
• Logan reminds me of Jerry van Dyke who played Luther Van Dam in Coach.
• He wore number Zero or O and his name is 'O' bert.
• Don't forget to visit Obert Nebraska.
Beckett value is $0.75 to $1.50.
