Scope and content
Professional quarterback Joe Willie Namath with two men soon after leading the New York Jets to victory over the Baltimore Colts in 1969's Super Bowl III. The young Pennsylvania native was one of the featured guests at the Tacoma Athletic Commission's annual Washington State Sports Hall of Fame show on February 17, 1969. Mr. Namath, who had recently re-grown his Fu Manchu mustache after being paid $10,000 to shave it off for a commercial, had journeyed to Stanley's Shoe store during his stay in Tacoma to try on shoes. The man in the center of this photograph has been identified as Joe Macaluso of Stanley Shoes. Man farthest to the right is possibly John Hadl, Pro Bowler, and longtime quarterback of the San Diego Chargers. ALBUM 9.
