This past weekend over three dozen members of the Baltimore Colts 1975 AFC-East Championship team reunited in Indianapolis to relive old stories and celebrate the storied franchise’s years in Baltimore.
It was a celebration initiated by Colts owner Jimmy Irsay, who spent his teenage years around many members of the 1975 team. In addition to attending Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans, members of the 1975 team were guests at Saturday’s practice and were later treated to a dinner hosted by Irsay.
