#OnThisDay in 1959, Billy Sullivan was informed that the owners of the American Football League (AFL) had met and voted unanimously in favor of admitting Boston to the AFL and granting the franchise to a group represented by Sullivan. Come by the Hall and see our limited time exhibit honoring the 65th anniversary of this historic moment in @patriots history up now through December 4th! . . . #otd #bostonpatriots #boston #newengland #football #nfl #americanfootball #anniversary #sapphireanniversary #patriots
