Trailing 27-21 to the Dallas Cowboys, the San Francisco 49ers took over the ball on their own 11-yard line with under five minutes to play. Quarterback Joe Montana methodically drove the 49ers down the field to eventually reach the Dallas 6-yard line with only 58 seconds remaining. Coach Bill Walsh decided to throw for the touchdown and picked a play that was intended to go to WR Freddie Soloman, with WR Dwight Clark as a secondary choice. Montana rolled to the right to avoid a heavy pass rush by the Dallas defenders. Running out of time, and not seeing Soloman open, Montana just three the ball up to the back of the endzone, where he knew from experience Clark should be. The throw was very high though. Clark leaped over DB Everson Walls to make "The Catch" giving the 49ers a 28-27 victory and a trip to the Super Bowl. Pictured above, quarterback Joe Montana avoiding the Dallas pass rush and Clark leaping high over Dallas' Everson Walls.

I don't have the box yet. Defetis didn't get a hold of me until 6 tonight and I work nights so I couldn't meet him in time. He said he will either drop it off tomorrow or put it in the mail.

Wishing I was as cool as Phil
OK... as promised, here's a pic of my greatest moment as a sports fan.
My son and I on the field at Shea Stadium, this past Father's Day. It was his first game. After the game there was the "DynaMets Dash" where the kids get to run around the bases and hi-5 Mr Met. But, if they're real young, the parents get to run the bases, too. Twenty years of going to Mets games, and I finally got to set foot on the field. And being that there's only two more seasons left in Shea, time was running out.
If any of you checked my profile, you'd have seen that I am a Mets, Buccaneers, and Magic fan. And, in my lifetime, I have gotten to see two of my teams win championships. (Even though for the Mets championship, I was too young to really appreciate it) I have seen All of my teams play for the title, and experienced a lot of ups and downs. But that day was something different. Beautiful weather, a David Wright Grand Slam (that I knew he was going to hit, and grabbed my camera to try and get a shot of him swinging, but I was fumbling with the camera, and he took the first pitch deep), and then finally stepping on the Warning Track out in CF. From there we walked down to 1B, around the bases, crossed Home, then up the 3B foul line and out through the bullpen. And I never would have been able to do it without him.
When I started the contest, I was actually hoping for something along these lines... a more "personal" experience. And I know for all of you that posted pictures the moments you put were extremely personal. Believe me, I know. I was at NLCS Game 7 this past year. As a fanatic, I know what kind of emotion goes into sports (if you're anywhere nearly as sick as I am).
So, with that being said, I chose Boogs34 as the winner. It's probably the one record that will never be broken (assuming Bonds doesn't get arrested within the next 3 months). Great job with the pic, and the description, Boogs. PM me with your addy, and the package will probably go out on Monday.
And, so you all don't have to go looking for his post, here it is:

I'm not in this pass, but have been following it. But, I will toot in and give you my greatest moment as a sports fan.
I'm a Washington sports fan residing nearby in Maryland. I grew up as a Baltimore Orioles fan, however, even though they were 1 city away. Football (NFL) is by far my favorite sport. But I cannot define 1 football moment that was a greater moment (banner falling) on me than Cal Ripken breaking the consecutive games streak on September 6, 1995. Although I did not attend the record breaking game in person, I did attend the a game in the previous home series so I was right there at the time, and of course watched the game live. I was an impressionable 12 years old. Cal Ripken was and continues to be a living legend Maryland. He is what Larry Bird is to Boston. He is what Mike Ditka is to Chicago. Adding to Cal's legend he was born and raised in Maryland as well. When leaving Maryland towards Pennsylvania on 95N to Philadelphia / NYC, all you will see are baseball stadiums bearing his name in the image of Camden Yards.
I guess my point in the backstory is this. Although, I consider myself a Washingtonian, I am a Baltimore Orioles fan who grew up following an athlete that we can all look up to with pride. He is a man who works a lot for the young people of the community, who never cheated, and just went in every day doing his job the best he could. His work off the field rivals that which he did on the field, and in this era of sports (nay, in this era that which we live in today) sincerely needs more athletes (nay, people) like him.
Now I'll let wikipedia describe that night.
So he broke the record. The banner fell, which gives me goosebumps, and is precisely the greatest sports moment of my life.
The 22 minute ovation was spontaneous and unplanned, and included President Clinton and VP Gore. It was unreal to watch - I can only imagine being there - because a few games earlier the excitement and cheers of the crowd was impressive enough.
He hit a homerun in the record tying and breaking game.
I guess instead of explaining it all I'll just show you this swing during that game...

Sweet moment Tom, the only sports moment that i've experienced that has stuck in my mind is watching the Odessa Jackalopes v. Lubbock Armadillos? hockey game about a month ago and a rampaging puck nailing my friend in the chest. Not one of the greatest moments, but none the less interesting. Also, congrats to Boogs on winning, I remember watching that moment with my dad.

Thank you for the contest Tom! I very much enjoyed writing it, and appreciate the generosity! I am a big sports fan, and this is one of those things I never really think about - greatest sports moment - and was glad to figure it out for myself.
