How his father preferred to wear old shirts with old Giants logos rather than the new shirts with the new Giants logos that he was given each year. And when the Giants restored their old "ny" logo on that year's new shirts, he said, "I knew they would come back."
How when the Giants were playing a road game, he would always sit in the press box rather than a luxury suite.
How when, in a moment of frustration over a player's failure during a dreary Giants loss, John Mara snapped, "What is he doing out there?," his father put a hand on his shoulder and said calmly, "What he's doing is the best that he can."
Giants fans shouldn't worry about the future of the franchise. John is indeed the son of the father.
