And what is the context of that photo?

Any sport, team, time period will do.

A few off of the top of my head...

Great topic.

As a child of the 70's, I use to get Sports Illustrated and cut out tons of photos and put them on my wall.

SI back then had probably the best collection of sports photographers in the business.

Now...in the digital world...with tens of millions of photos (mostly from cell phones) being taken every day...let alone the video age...the art of photography has taken a back seat.

One that I remember most in regards to my team, was a photo that Brandon Helwig (Publisher of UCFSports.com) took of a Blake Bortles TD run in the 2012 CUSA Championship Game at Tulsa...as Blake ran through the end zone and basically "tossed" the ball to Brandon...and most of us saw it live on TV...and Brandon caught a photo of that very moment:

UCF lost that game...but always thought that was a great pic.

Ha! That one has Tom Herzog in the background. He transferred from Mich State to UCF for one year a few years ago.

This is one of my all-time UCF favorites:

"We just spanked you, now look at my tattoo baby!"

I wonder if anyone will ever figure out why Liston took a dive. I suppose organized crime played a role, but I'd be curious to know the details.

I always liked this one.

Here are a couple that I took.

This one shows Ryan Howard, when he was playing at Reading, being mimicked by a Harrisburg Senator (game played in Harrisburg):



Here is a fumble by the Penn State QB (who was the QB in 2008?) in a game against Temple at Penn State.



Here are a couple of Picture Day galleries at the Phillies games. You can click on the thumbnails of any photo you wish to see:

I think this picture says a lot about those times, especially with the Capitol in the background.

Too stupid to upload pick from my ipad.[/quote][/php]

I don't have them on my phone to upload, but I have 3 that are my favorites:
* Luke Fisher laying in the end zone, holding the ball in the air, after scoring against NCSU in the 92 Peach bowl
* Hank Aaron rounding the bases when the fans run up to shake his hand
* Payne Stewart's victory fist pump, with leg kick, after sinking the put to beat Mickelson by 1 stroke in the 1999 U.S. Open @ Pinehurst #2
