Thanks to each of the editors for helping make the recent changes to the article on Bill Ellenbogen. It is much more complete and more accurate.
One additional change that might be made is to add information on the time that Bill Ellenbogen played with the Albany Metro Mallers. After being cut by the Kansas City Chiefs in 1973, he played with the Albany Metro Mallers of the Seaboard League. Teams were in Pennsylvania, Maryland and New York. The players were paid $25/game. Practices were on Tuesday and Thursday evenings nd agames were played on Saturday evenings. The players were provided help finding day jobs in construction.
For verification of some of this information, there is an entry in Wikipedia on this league in Wikipedia at:

Semipro ball is not included in the on-line football databases that I'm familiar with. Do you have a reliable, on-line source that verifies the time spent with the "Mallers"? Cbl62 (talk) 19:20, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Bogens: I added a few details from the images of the book you sent. BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:02, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
