Paul Steinberg
Jacob Paul "Twister" Steinberg (June 4, 1880 – February 1964) was a professional
football player in the early 1900s. As a member of the
first National Football League, he played with the
Philadelphia Athletics in the first professional night game in history. He also won the first, and only, two series of the
first World Series of Football with the
Syracuse Athletic Club and the
Franklin Athletic Club. Steinberg was also the first
Jewish professional
basketball player.
Harry March, dubbed the "Father of Pro Football", referred to Steinberg as, "one of the most elusive, fastest, slickest, shrewdest, and clean backs of the century."
