I was stunned to find out that Tommy McDonald was the last position player to play without a face mask in 1968 with the Browns. I have to find that video on Youtube where they showed him playing without the facemask.
What an interesting challenge. My first impulse is to say Frank Ryan. In that video with Gary Collins catching a TD from #13, that's definitely Ryan. I don't remember McDonald on the Browns. I thought he went to the Falcons the year after the card pictures him on the Rams.I found it. At the 7:00 mark they say Tommy McDonald was the last postition player to not wear a facemask. The 2 devastating hits he took in this short segment make me wince! And yet the little dude played without a facemask!
And I will bet every card in Scobe's collection that Ricshles can ID the Browns quarterback who throws McDonalds last career td catch. And I'll go double or nothing he won't even have to look it up!

THe first baseball card set I remember as a kid. I smile any time I see a 1966 Topps baseball card! Topps put a ton of info on the card backs without making them look busy.
Scobes with another RC of a Hall of Famer! !971 Topps had a lot of HOF/prominant RCs in it besides Bradshaw and Greene. Ken Houston, Willie Lanier, Marty Schottenheimer and of course Charlie Sanders for starters.
I still think it was between Staubach and Jerry Rhome for Dallas's greatest all time QB. Just sayin.Roger Staubach '08 Abs. Mem. NFL Icons Triple Patch 2/10
