Straight from the hands of "The Galloping Ghost" himself, these two honors from the 1970s commemorate the halfback who starred for the University of Illinois and Chicago Bears, and was a major force in the legitimization of the National Football League. There's a certificate from the Illinois Sesquicentennial Commission with gold seal signed by Governor Samuel H. Shapiro, and a 14" x 14" wood-based, fan-generated award in the shape of an interstate sign with a silver-colored metal football protruding from the center and a plaque which reads: "TO RED GRANGE MR. FOOTBALL OF YESTERYEAR STILL MAKING HIS CONTRIBUTION TO THE GAME BY BEING ALWAYS COMPLIMENTARY IN HIS VIVID DESCRIPTIONS OF THE PLAYERS TRULY A SPORTSMAN OF THE MIKE OUR ALL-AMERICAN ANNOUNCER - FANS OF MAGNOLIA, ARK." This was a reference to Grange's post-career broadcasting gig as he broadcast Bears and college football games for NBC.
