		Such a history-maker was Sammy Baugh, the passer deluxe of the Washington Redskins for 16 seasons and a charter member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
		When Sammy retired so many years later in 1952, football was not only well established in the nation's capital, but the sport as a whole was finally rising to the peaks of super-popularity it knows today.
		Perhaps the most telling factor as far as Baugh's value to his club was concerned is that the Redskins won five divisional and two NFL titles during Baugh's tenure.
