The article written by USA Today began with a look back at Ralph Wilson’s childhood, which included playing a lot of sports. It was a love that he pursued up until his death in 2014, his 54th season as owner of the Buffalo Bills.
Mary Wilson brought a tennis trophy to the Detroit news conference, a trophy that her husband won at just 12 years old. “I want it to emphasize how much fun Ralph had playing sports as a kid. And just look where he went with it,” Mary told USA Today.
