Big gaffe in my notes today -- Homer Jones did make two Pro Bowls, the last in 1968.
Should've said that Plax would be the first Giants WR in 40 years to make a Pro Bowl... The headline is a quote from the immortal former Giant Kevin Lewis, who chided me for asking him a question during the 2005 training camp about his being the 2004 starting MLB due to injuries.
He said he'd earned it and killed me with the quote in the headline... I was mortified, having been on the Giants beat for exactly one week at that point. Later, I learned I should not have been so mortified.
Today, however, I am. Bad job by me.
