Description: 1943 NEW YORK FOOTBALL GIANTS TEAM SIGNED ALBUM PAGE SIGNED BY 7 PLAYERS INCLUDING GIANTS STAR & COLLEGE HOF'ER AL BLOZIS AL BLOZIS WAS THE PAT TILLMAN OF THE WWII GENERATION!! Albert Charles Blozis (January 5, 1919 – January 31, 1945) was a football who died as a soldier while in combat during World War II. In a 1991 news story, The New York Times wrote, "Curiously, the very size that made him so intimidating on the football field kept him out of the military until late 1943, when, after repeated attempts, Blozis finally persuaded the Army to waive its size limit and accept him. It took further persuading to get from a desk job to the front lines." Blozis was inducted into the United States Army on December 9, 1943. He was first assigned to duty as a physical instructor at Walter Reed Hospital and then went through Officers' training at Ft Benning At Fort Benning, he set the Army's grenade throwing record with a toss of 94 yards, 2 feet 6.5 inches. He was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the 28th Infantry Division. On January 21, 1945, his platoon was ub tge Vosges Mntns of France scouting enemy lines. When two of his men, a Srgt and a private failed to return from a patrol, he went in search of them alone. He never returned. Blozis was first listed as missing, but in April of that year his death was confirmed.
