“Singular.”
If one were going to summarize the career of Washington Redskins legend Sammy Baugh in a word, that would be it: Singular.
Consider the fact that Baugh came to the Skins in his rookie season of 1937. It was the team’s first year in Washington. Baugh led them to a world championship, instantly establishing the team as a D.C. cultural fixture, and himself as the face of the franchise.
He did so wearing #33. By the time he retired 15 years later, he had forged a legacy unparalleled in NFL history to that point, and perhaps even since.
