Sammy Baugh played for the Washington Redskins from 1937-1952, playing quarterback, defensive back, and punter. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame's 1963 charter class.
Baugh led the Redskins to an NFL Championship in his rookie season. In the championship game, he threw for 335 yards--an NFL playoff record that lasted 75 years, until Russell Wilson broke it in 2012.
He led the Redskins to another championship game in 1940, which they lost.
Baugh led the Redskins to another NFL Championship in 1942. In that defensive-dominated championship game, Baugh's punting prowess proved pivotal; his 85-yard quick kick was particularly impressive.
The next year might have been Baugh's best, as he led the Redskins to another championship game, which they lost. He was the league's passing leader. He was the league's punting leader. He was the league's interception leader. Baugh was the ultimate football player--a true triple-threat on offense, defense, and special teams.
Baugh led the Redskins to his final championship game in 1945, which they again lost--this time by a single point due to an unusual safety. At that time, the goal posts were in the front of the end zone (at the goal line), not at the back of the end zone. Baugh dropped back to pass, threw the ball, and it bounced off the goal post and landed in the end zone. By rule, that was a safety. As a result, the rule was changed the following year so that any pass striking the goal posts would be ruled incomplete. The goal posts were later moved to the back of the end zone to avoid this type of interference with play.
Baugh passed away on December 17, 2008. He was the last surviving member of the Hall of Fame's charter class. The Redskins have retired only one jersey number in their history: Baugh's 33.
