Shank On The LA Chargers - II

Sorry for the late post - I suppose I've been as lazy as responding to this column as Shank was in writing it, because we get a typical Shank walk down memory lane.

Chargers-Patriots.

The first meeting was Oct. 8, 1960, when Dwight Eisenhower was in the White House and future Patriot Larry Eisenhauer was a senior defensive end at Boston College. The Chargers were the Los Angeles Chargers and the Patriots were the Boston Patriots.

Two of the AFL’s original eight teams, the Chargers and Patriots have played one another at Nickerson Field, Balboa Stadium, Fenway Park, Alumni Stadium (Boston College), Harvard Stadium, Schaefer (a.k.a. Foxboro and Sullivan) Stadium, Qualcomm (also Jack Murphy) Stadium, and Gillette Stadium. They have met 38 times in the regular season.

See what I mean?
