An almost unknown chapter of sporting—and American—history Tracing the history of the National Football League during World War II, this book delves into the severe player shortage during the war which led to the merging of the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Philadelphia Eagles, creating the “Steagles.” The team’s center was deaf in one ear, its wide receiver was blind in one eye (and partially blind in the other), and its halfback had bleeding ulcers. One player was so old he’d never before played football with a helmet. Yet somehow, this group of players—deemed unfit for military service due to age or physical ailment—posted a winning record in the league, to the surprise of players and fans alike. Digging into the history of the war paralleled by the unlikely story of the Steagles franchise, both sports fans and history buffs will learn about the cultural significance of this motley crew of ball players during a trying time in United States history.

This book examines Memphis's symbolic meaning and value as a Negro leagues baseball city during Jim Crow. It locates the main intersections between black professional baseball and the South in the four decades that spanned the modern Negro leagues era and analyzes the racial dynamics in the city through the lens of the Memphis Red Sox, a black-owned and operated organization that stood as a pillar of success. Baseball also provides a way to examine the racial inequalities and issues that pervaded the city in those years. A black-owned stadium served as a forum for political assertion and an arena for real political struggle for blacks in Memphis.

This essay sheds light on the different types of video game genres that people can experience, demystifies the best type of video game subgenre for people to experience, reveals the benefits of playing real-time strategy video games as a heroic faction, and delineates the challenges of playing real-time strategy video games as a heroic faction. Unbeknownst to most people, there are a myriad of disparate types of video game genres that people are at liberty to experience if they so choose to do so. People can bask in experiencing engrossing video games as a heroic character without being solely limited to only playing the assortment of enthralling video games as a heroic character that are subsumed under one specific video game genre. People can dabble into playing enthralling video games as a heroic character that are apart of disparate types of video game genres in order to render their gameplay experiences all the more variegated. The abundance of video game genres renders it possible for people to cherry-pick their video game selections to be tailored to their video game genre preferences. The types of video game genres extend far beyond the ambit of the shooter video game genre and the fighting video game genre. Some of the different types of video game genres encompass the fighting video game genre, the horror video game genre, the puzzle video game genre, the shooter video game genre, the strategy genre video game genre, the sports video game genre, the racing video game genre, the digital collectible card game video game genre, the rhythm action video game genre, the battle royale video game genre, the action-adventure video game genre, role paying video game genre, and the “massively multiplayer online role playing game” genre. There are various video game subgenres that are subsumed under certain types of video games genres. For instance, some of the types of video game subgenres that are subsumed under the strategy video game genre encompass the tower defense video game subgenre, the multiplayer online battle arena video game subgenre, and the real-time strategy video game subgenre. Some of the types of video game subgenres that are subsumed under the horror video game genre encompass the survival horror video game subgenre and the action-horror video game subgenre. One of the types of video game subgenres that is subsumed under the action video game genre for instance encompasses the platform video game subgenre. One of the types of video game subgenres that is subsumed under the shooter video game genre for instance encompasses the first person shooter video game subgenre. There are an exorbitant amount of video games that are apart of disparate types of video game genres. People often grossly underestimate the amount of video games that are subsumed under each type of video game genre. As of 2023, it is estimated that at least 22,000,000 video games have been developed. If you were to for instance play one different video game per day as a heroic character from ages four to seventy-eight over the course of seventy-five years which would be a time span of 27,375 days, then you would not even be able to experience .00125% of video games released even if no new video games were developed during the course of this three quarter of a century time window. Even if you spent the vast majority of your waking hours playing video games as a heroic character, you would still not even be able to experience the totality of the prodigious video game library, especially since an exorbitant amount of new video games are being developed each year as of 2023 which further expands the already sizeable prodigious video game library. In order to be able to experience 22,000,000 video games over the course of a three quarter of a century time window, you would need need to play at least 804 different video games per day everyday as a heroic character. Lamentably, as of 2023, there are not enough hours in the average human lifespan for the average person to be able to experience even 1% of video games developed even if no new video games were developed during the course of a three quarter of a century time window. There are only 683,280 hours over the course of seventy-eight years. There are also only 28,470 days in a seventy-eight year time window. The average human lifespan is ephemeral relative to certain other species that can vastly outlive human beings.

In the early days of professional football, coaches were little more than on-field captains who also ran practices—if there was time for practice. The emergence of post-graduate football and the coaching profession from 1920 to 1950 was crucial to the evolution of the game, and both developed and rose in stature over this critical period in the history of football. In Pioneer Coaches of the NFL: Shaping the Game in the Days of Leather Helmets and 60-Minute Men, John Maxymuk profiles some of the most innovative coaches from the early days of the NFL, including Guy Chamberlin, Curly Lambeau, George Halas, Potsy Clark, and Clark Shaughnessy. Along with biographical sketches and career details, the profiles examine the coaches’ strategic approaches, their impact on the history of the game, and the advancement of their roles both on and off the field. It was this group of coaches who initially devised the basic repertoire of plays and alignments, as well as passing routes, blocking schemes, shifts, and substitution patterns. These men morphed defensive alignments, introduced the four-man secondary, conceived zone and man-to-man coverage mixes, and concocted linebacker and safety blitzing. Pioneer Coaches of the NFL details how coaches from the first three decades of the NFL established many of the procedures, conventions, and strategies that modern football coaches still use today. These innovators presented those that followed them a rich palate with which to imagine and create an even greater game.

During World War II, the National Football League faced a crisis unimaginable today: a shortage of players. By 1943, so many players were in the armed forces that the league was forced to fold one team and merge two others: the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Philadelphia Eagles—the Steagles. Its roster that included military draft rejects, aging stars lured out of retirement, and even a couple of active servicemen who managed to get leave for the games. The team's center was deaf in one ear, its wide receiver was blind in one eye, and its halfback had bleeding ulcers. One player was so old he'd never played football with a helmet. Yet, somehow, this motley bunch managed to post a winning record—the first for the Eagles and just the second for the Steelers. But Last Team Standing isn't just about football. It's also about life in the United States during World War II, a time of fear and hope, of sacrifice and momentous change. It's about rationing, racism, and Rosie the Riveter. It's about draft boards, bond drives, and movie stars. Above all, it's about the men and women of the Greatest Generation who couldn't fight, but helped win the war in immeasurable ways.
