He was also one of the greatest punters of all time and an excellent defensive back. His #33 is the only number officially retired by the Redskins. He was the only quarterback to lead the Redskins to multiple titles (1937 and 1942). I hope the Redskins honor him with a #33 patch on their uniforms for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the source, Baugh may have never returned to Washington after retiring in 1952, preferring life on his Texas ranch. <\/p>\n<p><a class=\"post-article-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/content\/article\/2008\/12\/17\/AR2008121703347.html?hpid=sec-sports\"><b>The First of the Gunslingers<\/b><\/a> &#8211; <i>The Post<\/i><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"post-article-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2008\/dec\/18\/redskins-sammy-baugh-early-superstar-dies-at-94\/\"><b>Sammy Baugh, early Redskins great, dies<\/b><\/a> &#8211; <i>The Wash.
