NEED TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU.When I was a kid (14 years old)
I am RC and one Sunday in church.(Baltimore county) I turn around and J. Unitas was standing behind me. Did not know it until after Lord’s Prayer and sign of peace, I turned around and Johny U looked me in the eye and shook my hand.
I love my Ravens but When I see that Colts uniform I always get emotional. Pro Sports is a fun game.

I’ve met a few “for the ages” professional athletes but meeting Johnny U was an incredible experience. A truly humble “real” man. Great honor as you know.

That’s an incredible story. Unitas is one of those guys that transcends the sport, like Vince Lombardi or Tom Landry.
