Sisto Averno, Colts, Yanks, and Texans Guard
March 29th, 2012 | Published in Player Deaths
Sisto Averno, a guard from 1950 to 1954 for the “old” Baltimore Colts, the New York Yanks, the Dallas Texans, and the “new” Baltimore Colts, passed away on March 26. The Baltimore Sun web site has a report and a recent photo. Averno moved so much because there was a lot of churn in the NFL in the early 1950s, and the franchises he played for kept folding.
Averno appeared on one football card, the 1953 Bowman card pictured here.
