Anderson's ring is embossed "Green Bay Packers World Champions 1962" around a Packer green football shaped synthetic stone, with one diamond, set in a white metal bezel, approximate total .21 carats, embossed on one side reads "Lew Anderson" and "NFL'" stamped "Josten 14K" inside. In 1962, the defending champion Packers and Giants played a rematch in the NFL Championship Game. The title game, played on December 30, 1962 at Yankee Stadium, featured two of the NFL's powerhouses, boasting seventeen future Hall of Famers. However, 40 mph winds and 13 degree temps kept the high flying offenses on the ground. In the third quarter, the Giants cut the Packer lead to 10-7 on a blocked end-zone punt. But the Packers prevailed on the surprising foot of Jerry Kramer and the determined running of Jim Taylor, defeating the Giants, 16-7. "That was the hardest football game I ever played in," is how Packers' Hall of Fame halfback Paul Hornung described the win. The victory marked the Packers' second straight league title, Lombardi's dynasty in the making. The ring shows minor wear. Size 12.
