My personal favorite:

[nickcarraway]

Cassius Clay over Sunny Liston?

[yarddog]

I am not going to go through the list but there was a picture taken over a hundred years ago which has widely been considered the greatest sports photo ever.

It is of Ty Cobb sliding into 3rd and just beating the tag.

I suspect it is not in this list.

Yogi is in two of them: Don Larsen’s perfect game and Jackie Robinson’s steal of home. Always second fiddle. But, a marvelous one.

God how I miss those days.

There’s so many great pictures but I think there’s a better one than Turcotte riding Secretariat at the Belmont (#72). It’s of him looking back, you could see how far back the other horses were. I guess with photographers, like real estate, it’s location, location, location.

I am not sure the criteria for "best" but it seems they have three sets of best:

1) Pictures of great moments.
2) Pictures that look great (the fish in a fish).
3) PC/sympathy shots (the 3' tall HS football player, the legless swimmer etc.)

Some comments:

1) Where is Bobby Thompson's HR with Ralph Branca's back turned so we see the big #13?
2) Clay standing over Liston gets my vote as # 1.
3) Where is Kirk Gibson's walk off HR?
4) Where is Maz, coming home after his home run?
5) Where is Lou Gehrig wiping the tears from his eyes? (they chose a lesser photo, IMHO)
6) Where are the Russian's celebrating their 'victory' over team USA?
7) Where is Villanova, a #14 seed winning the NCAA's?
8) Where is John Wooden?

Some good shots, yes, but over all too many better shots are missing.

What? No three-day cross-country photos?

Admittedly these people are all insane, but some great photos.

I hope this one made the cut.

Oh yeah....where are the curling photos?

Haven’t viewed it, but there ought to be at least one Earl Campbell pic in there. The man was greatness.

Didn't see the shot of Pudge Fisk waving the ball over the wall in game six of the '75 World Series, or the last second shot by Christian Laettner in the '92 finals.

To me, the greatest play in the history of Major League Baseball was when Lou Brock lined a hit into the left field corner at Fenway Park in the world series and Carl Yaztremski threw him out at second base.

All you could see was the ball going into the corner (out of view of the camera), and then a cannon shot to second base for the tag.
