Good question, but 1926 was the Frankford Yellow Jackets, who had almost no connection to the Eagles. The FYJs went bankrupt in 1931 and went defunct. In 1933, the NFL awarded the FYJ assets (and substantial debts) to Bert Bell and Lud Wray. Neither the NFL, nor the new owners considered the team or the two franchises the same team.

so, he couldnt pronounce a name he had never heard of before and that makes him bad? seriously?

@@steveswangler6373 What made him bad was he was a lame broadcaster. The fact that he was embarrassed to say Alou's name made him funny. When they got Harry Kalas and Richie Ashburn, that was their best announcing team. Along with By Saam was Bill Campbell, who was always competant but that was about it.

@@oldcougar65 yes, Ashburn and Kalas is the best team the Phillies have ever had. but i have never heard anyone say Saam and Campbell were less than very good, except for you.

@@steveswangler6373 By Saam was just from a different era. IMO, he was uncomfortable as baseball evolved. As I said, Bill Campbell was a competant broadcaster. Actually I liked to listen to his radio talk show, which was on about the time sport radio started in Philly. I was driving down the Expressway when Campbell suddenly announced, "We might get Pete Rose!" I almost ran off the highway. I hated Rose with a passion, and suddenly, miraculously, I loved him! I knew he was the missing piece. And didn't Campbell call the Eagles-Packers game in "60? I think he did, but since I WAS THERE, I didn't hear the broadcast.
