Not bad but I always had a preference for the Cheryl Tiegs NSFW one.

I can tell you that Tiegs issue made its way around the 5th grade at Tecumseh Elementary for sure.

I saw this on social media. Here are my four. Pretty iconic.

The greatest sports photographer ever is Walter Iooss. He’s shot for SI for over 50 years. Shot every Super Bowl, SI Swimsuit covers (he shot the Cheryl Tiegs one mentioned above), Jordan (Rare Air book), Tiger Woods, and some of the most iconic photos in sport history, including Yogi Berra, and The Catch (Dwight Clark) and Joe Namath photos in this thread. My brother and I worked with Walter on the Got Milk Super Bowl ad campain with Kurt Warner and Steve McNair, Chris Porter (Auburn hoops) cover for SI, Jordan for the 62,000 game here at the Georgia Dome and Davis Love down in Sea Island. He told us some great stories on his photo shoots with Shaq, Randy Moss, Barry Bonds, Iverson, Kobe, and Kevin Garnett. Here’s a link to his story on the iconic Jordan dunk.

My life would be complete if I had access to all of the photos used in Ken Burns’ “Baseball” documentary... pictures of those old farm sandlots that all the townpeople played on, the first American professional ball fields - the ones where the fans could be found packed along the INSIDE of the outfield fence! Nostalgia overload. Would love to have some hung about my house.

They are so hard to find online it seems... here is one that I could find easily that leaves me in awe.

This is a picture of the scene just before the first World Series game in 1903.

\

The hero of that World Series incidentally, was Bill Dinneen, a pitcher for Boston who was from Syracuse.

Thanks for the Syracuse nugget.

The access those folks (on the field) had! Front seat to the beginnings of American sports history. This is where I would start if I were ever a time traveler.

Boston’s ace pitcher was a guy named Cy Young. Pittsburgh’s best player was a shortstop named Honus Wagner, Yes, that would be a good series to check out from a time machine.

That first picture was of the Boston ballpark. Here is what Exposition Park, where the Pirates played, looked like:
