Joe Namath was a Yankee from Pennsylvania that played college football at Alabama....and he had to change to fit in.
He was there at the University of Alabama when Gov. George Wallace (D) refused to allow 2 black students to be segregated into the school.
People tend to forget what the South was like back then.
What's really interesting is that fact that we never saw Joe Namath play when he was healthy. He was the best running QB in the country while at Alabama.
Here's his story.
