My Favorite Picture of All Time


That I can think of now, at least. Shot by Neil Leifer, it is a picture of Baltimore Colts Fullback Alan Ameche scoring a game winning TD in overtime over the Giants. What makes it so special? Aside from the fact that it's a great moment with the collisions, the players on the ground staring, and the snow falling, look up and into the background.
This game, dubbed "The Greatest Game Ever Played," was played at Yankee Stadium in 1958. Just seeing that in the background gives me chills.
