Franco Harris, R.I.P.

Franco Harris, the Steelers running back who caught the ball in the play forever known as the Immaculate Reception, has died at age 72.

The twist in this story is that the Immaculate Reception took place on December 23rd, 1972 and the Steelers were going to retire Harris's number in a ceremony on Saturday during the game with the Raiders, who were the opponents fifty years ago.
