It was 1960 when an 11 yr old kid from a broken home convinced his single mom to let him scrape his pennies together to buy a child's single season pass for the new Dallas Texans and the AFL'S inaugural season. I believe that season pass cost a whole dollar. This youngster would take the bus by himself on Sunday afternoons after doing his weekly altar boy duties spoken in Latin at mass at Holy Trinity Catholic Church, often for Father Huber (the priest who gave JFK his last rites). The Texans were a good team made up of a lot of local college talent from SMU, TCU, and other Southwest Conference teams. The Texan's backfield was comprised by the likes of QB Cotton Davidson, FB Jack Spikes, and all pro RB Abner Haynes. They would go down in history as this new league's first champion with the colorful Hank Stram as coach. After 3 years however the Texans would leave Dallas for Kansas City becoming what are still to this day the Chiefs, leaving this kid to root for his other hometown team, the Dallas Cowboys. Nearly sixty years later this kid, now a Cardinal fan, still harbors a hidden fondness for the Chiefs, along with the original AFL and its teams like the Chargers, Bills, and Raiders.
