Red Badgro

Born December 1, 1902 - Ordiliia, Washington - Morris “Red” Badgro, the legendary USC end, arrived on the scene of life. Red was known for his sure tackling, solid blocking, and great hands at USC and had a couple of options after school was over because, according to his bio on the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s website, Red was a three sport star for the USC Trojans. You see, Red Badgro was also a talented baseball player, and he teetered back and forth as to which sport he should play professionally. Their first stop was in football, as he played with Red Grange on the NY Yankees' football team. After one season on the gridiron, he played a couple of years on the diamond with baseball’s St. Louis Browns. His love for football was too much, though, as 1930 saw him back in pads playing for the New York Giants. His contributions on offense and defense were significant to some big Giants victories, including a key blocked punt against the Boston Redskins in 1935 that he took in for a touchdown. The Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrined Red Badgro in 1991.
