Baltimore is home to some of the greatest football players ever to step onto the gridiron. From the Colt's Johnny Unitas to the Raven's Ray Lewis, the "Charm City" has been blessed with multiple championship teams.

Between the Colts and Ravens, a brief but significant chapter of Baltimore football history was written; the Stallions. Formed in 1994, they were the most successful franchise in the history of the Canadian Football League, in 1995 becoming the only U.S. team to win the Grey Cup. By 1996 the Stallions were gone, undermined by the arrival of the Ravens and the overall failure of the CFL's U.S. expansion efforts.

Drawing on original interviews with players, coaches, journalists and fans, this book recalls how the Stallions both captured the imagination and broke the hearts of Baltimore football fans in just 24 months.
