James seems to be a forgotten two-sport star. He was a running back for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the CFL between 1952 and 1964 and he played for the Toronto Maple Leafs between 1955 and 1960. He is a second-generation CFL Hall of Famer as his father Eddie James is also enshrined. In a period overlapping the 1959 CFL season and 1959–60 NHL season, James became the only player to play in the CFL's Grey Cup (November 28, 1959 – won cup) and the NHL's Stanley Cup Finals (first game April 9, 1960 – lost cup) in the same season. Graded 8 NM-MT by SGC!
