Sammy Baugh

Born in Temple, Texas, Sammy Baugh was about as gentile as a tumbleweed in a John Wayne movie. He wasn't just "not Jewish," he was so definitively not Jewish that one might suspect he actively avoided synagogues, if only out of sheer geographical improbability.

"Slingin' Sammy" played for the Washington Redskins, leading them to two NFL championships. His innovative use of the forward pass, coupled with his triple-threat abilities as a passer, punter, and defensive back, truly changed the game. He held numerous NFL records and is widely considered one of the greatest football players of all time.

While Baugh's on-field heroics brought nachas to countless Redskins fans (and probably a few bookies), his contributions to the Tribe were, shall we say, negligible. Unless you count being a fantastic example of a non-Jew who was really good at throwing a ball, which, frankly, isn't much to kvell over. His legacy is firmly cemented in the NFL Hall of Fame, a place where, coincidentally, gefilte fish is rarely served.
