The National Football League was  a mere five years old---and for the near-century since, the history of  football, the city, and the Giants has been inextricably linked. This  thorough and thoroughly entertaining illustrated chronicle of the New  York Giants football team tells the full story of the seasons, players,  coaches, teams, and moments that have made history decade after decade.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom  the early years as an upstart sport in a big city heading into  financial chaos, to the team’s triumph in the 1930s (including 1934’s  famous “Sneakers Game” against the Chicago Bears); its return to glory  in the 1950s behind the talents of Frank Gifford, Sam Huff, and  Roosevelt Brown; and its pair of championship seasons in 1986 and  1990---these are the New York Giants, moment by colorful moment, right  up to their upset victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl  XLII. Crammed with player statistics and team records, and brilliantly  illustrated with vintage and up-to-the-minute photographs, the book is a  fitting celebration of a team whose name is synonymous with football in  America.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MVP Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157286142192,"sku":"9781616731076","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781616731076_p0.jpg?v=1763851697","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781616731076","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
