Happy Birthday, Frank Deford! Your timeless storytelling in "Everybody's All-American" gave us a legendary character so iconic that Dennis Quaid himself stepped into those cleats. Clearly, your words have aged better than any athlete’s knees!From captivating readers with gripping sports narratives to inspiring Hollywood adaptations—your literary touchdowns keep scoring points long after the final whistle blows. May this birthday be as memorable and enduring as Gavin Grey’s glory days; just remember not to pull anything blowing out all those candles.
Cheers to you for crafting stories we still cheer about today—and here's hoping you're celebrating like an All-American champion!
