Post your favorite classic sports pics.
Booby Orr's game winning goal, 1970 Stanley Cup Final.


Ali over Sonny Liston 1964 Heavyweight championship bout.


The man that took the Orr pic was the late Ray Lussier of the Boston Record American. He was a good friend of my jornalist Dad, and basically had the photo stolen from him by the paper. The pic won a pulitzer he got very little recognition.

12. Sorry Sox fans

Hopefully this year took the edge off of this picture.

But I must say the Ali over Liston is probably one of my favorite pictures of all time.

42. I was thinking of the Y.A. Tittle one!
I'm glad someone posted it. Tittle and the one of Ali standing over Liston are my two favorite shots.

I can imagine being that guy, almost everyone he sees must say something to him. Poor Norwood. No one remembers the kicks that helped them get there.

Vera Caslavska, a Czechoslovakian gymnast who, at the 1968 Olympics, cast her eyes downward when the Soviet flag was raised because the Soviet Union had invaded her country just two months prior.
