CAL HUBBARD'S BIO
Hubbard played for the Giants from 1927-28, and then again in 1936. He was one of 17 charter enshrinees into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1963. Hubbard was named All-NFL six years in a row from 1928-33.

He played for the Green Bay Packers from 1929-35 and the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1936 before returning to the Giants. He was acquired before the start of the 1927 season in order to help beef up the Giants defense. That season the Giants defense surrendered only 20 points as the Giants captured their first NFL championship. He was acquired by the Green Bay Packers in 1929 in a move that would haunt the Giants, as Hubbard led the Packers to a 12-0-1 record in 1929, edging out the 13-1-1 Giants for the league title. The Packers handed the Giants their only loss of the season by a 20-6 score.

Did not know about Cal until uncovering a NY Giants related video clip cartoon of baseball player Carl Bubble which was made as a parody of Carl Hubble otherwise known as Cal:

In 1927, the NY Giants won their 1st NFL Championship after a trade for Hubble. He earned the NFL Hall of Fame in 1963, congrats. It'd be nice to hear more from Giants fans who know a little something about his game and why the parody was made about Cal, thx.
Do you find this valuable?
