Brookline great and NFL legend, Johnny Unitas had a rough start playing football. When the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted him in the ninth round, he was released before the season began. Unitas was married with a child and tried to support his family by working in construction here in Pittsburgh. On weekends, he played for the Bloomfield Rams for $6.00 a game. Did they have artificial turf? No. Grass? Nope. It was a dirt field. What is the moral of the story? You know...
Happy Birthday, Johnny Unitas.
