Babe Parilli, a former quarterback for the Green Bay Packers who earned much of his fame with the Boston Patriots, died today, July 15, 2017, at the age of 87. His real first name was Vito.
Parilli began his career with the Packers in 1952, where he was a backup for most of his time in Titletown.
He played his first two seasons in Green Bay before going to Cleveland for one season in 1956 and then coming back to Green Bay in 1957, the year the Packers unveiled what was then known as the new City Field.
