Uncommon card · No. 184203

Dale Carroll Rosenbloom (March 5, 1907 – April 2, 1979) was an American businessman. He was the owner of two National Football League (NFL) franchises: he was the first owner of the Baltimore Colts and later switched teams, taking ownership of the Los Angeles Rams in 1972. During his stewardship of both franchises, Rosenbloom amassed the best ownership winning percentage in league history (.660), a total regular season record of 226 wins, 116 losses and 8 ties, as well as 3 NFL championships (1958, 1959, 1968), and one Super Bowl (V). Rosenbloom has been described as the NFL's first modern owner and the first players' owner. Rosenbloom was part of the NFL inner circle that negotiated the league's network TV contracts with NBC and CBS and the AFL–NFL merger, both of which contributed to professional football becoming both profitable and the most watched spectator sport in the United States.
