New York Giants Superfan & Charitable Fundraiser Joe Ruback

This week, host & producer George Sirois sits down with Joe Ruback, one of the most visible New York Giants fans in the past twenty years, and discusses how he started the look that earned him the persona "License Plate Guy," how his fandom of the Giants began and evolved, the players he's met as a result of attending all home & away games for nearly two decades, how his connections with the team led to various highly successful charitable events (including one where he crossed enemy lines and coordinated with a Philadelphia Eagles superfan), how his annual charitable softball game began, and more!
