On August 11, the Packers will turn 97 and this upcoming season will be their 98th. Excuse me for constantly beating the drums on this, but it is the greatest story in sports.
While there is much that we know about how it all started, there also are a number of needless myths that have been created about the Packers’ birth. Believe me, the story can stand on its own. It was a miracle in the making and needs no embellishment.
That said, there are things about the team’s formation that we don’t know and may never know because they weren’t recorded at the time, or at least nobody has found any records of them yet.
