Fact of the day
Alyn Beals, one of the most prolific scorers in 49ers history, was born in Marysville, California. After completing his World War II Army stint in 1946, Beals returned to San Francisco where his former coach at Santa Clara, Buck Shaw, persuaded him to sign a $5,000 yearly contract with the 49ers of the newly formed All-America Football Conference. Beals was the AAFC’s all-time leading scorer with 278 points. Nearly 25 percent of his receptions resulted in touchdowns, the highest percentage ever recorded by a pro player with over 200 catches. In six seasons with the 49ers, Beals totaled 49 touchdowns on 211 catches. Consider that Jerry Rice needed 264 receptions to score his first 49 touchdowns. Beals played high school football at San Francisco’s Polytechnic High School.
