Professional Football's Birth Certificate

I was asked to do a scrapbook layout on "some piece of football history." I did some research and found a photo of the guy who is known as the first professional football player. (That layout is also in my gallery.) Then I got lucky and found the actual paper on the NFL Hall of Fame website that verifies him, William "Pudge" Heffelfinger, as the first documented pro football player. The document is an accounting ledger sheet from the club that paid him back in 1892. Pretty cool find, so I downloaded it, cleaned it up in PhotoShop, and made a page about it.
