When I was in 2nd grade in December of 1972, one of my early sports memories was when the Steelers beat the Raiders in the Immaculate Reception game. Louis Civitano, my brothers Pete and Mark, and myself were all watching the game in our living room on Clematis Rd in Brewster Heights. With only 22 seconds left to play in the 4th quarter, the game appeared to be in the bank for the Raiders. On 4th down from his own 40-yardline, Terry Bradshaw, after barely avoiding being sacked by the Raiders' pass-rush, flung the ball in the general direction of John Fuqua downfield. The ball careened off of Jack Tatum, and the Raiders won the game ....... except that a rookie running back by the name of Franco Harris came out of nowhere to snatch the ball into his hands just before it hit the artificial turf, ran toward the sidelines, and proceeded to out-sprint the Raiders' Jimmy Warren to the end-zone for a Steelers touchdown !!! ![]() Franco Harris, that Steelers running back who went on to a Hall-of-Fame career which included 4 Super Bowl titles with the Steelers, has died at the age of 72. o

R.I.P Franco. I didn't like the Steelers, but I always liked Franco Harris.
