The Giants aren’t simply a passion for John Mara. They are his life.
The franchise has been a part of his family since the founding of the team in 1925, when his grandfather, Tim Mara, purchased the club for $500 and began the process of turning it into one of the league’s flagship organizations.
A son of Wellington Mara, John was a young child during the halcyon days of the late 1950’s and early 1960’s, and then he suffered through the lost years of Allie Sherman and Alex Webster and Bill Arnsparger and John McVay.
