Weeb Ewbank coached the Baltimore Colts to the NFL title in 1958, and was honored with this Appreciation Award by the Sports Boosters of Maryland after his team's thrilling OT victory over the NY Giants in "The Greatest Game Ever Played." The award consists of a gold statuette of a QB throwing a pass and a 6-1/2" x 9-1/2" gold plaque mounted on a 12-1/2" x 18" wooden crest. No such award was forthcoming a decade later when Weeb's New York Jets beat the Colts in Super Bowl III. The award is in excellent condition.
