In reply to: OldRam 's message, "The Giants have not always had their pre-season camp in Albany. Over the years, they've been at Fairfield U., Pace U. in Pleasantville and I believe in New Jersey at Fairleigh Dickinson (?). Back in the early '50's the Giants practised some at FU, waiting for the baseball season to end. It would be nice to have them but I don't believe we have enough room." on 13:02:57 02/23/05 Wed

I could be wrong but I don't believe they ever had their full pre-season camp at FU-when they were playing at Yankee Stadium, they used our facilites while the baseball season was still on. I remember the LA Rams practising at FU. (NT)OldRam14:25:33 02/23/05 Wed

At the Prep from '63-'66 roughly, the Jints were regulars on campus and were about as classy a group as there was. You could sit with them in the Campus Center and shoot the breeze after practice. I remember walking out of McGinley with Alex Webster on the Friday before a big game against the Browns. Gifford, Robustelli, Rote, Katcavage, et al. - a very friendly bunch. Those Giants held a special place for Fordham not only on account of the Mara / Lombardi connection, but in particular they loved our / their legendary trainer, Johnny Dziegel.
