R.I.P. George Foreman.
A long-forgotten 1984 @sportsillustrated.bsky.social profile of him has always stuck with me. Long-retired, serving as a minister in Texas, nothing about Foreman then suggested that he would mount the greatest comeback in sports history.

This is my favorite photo of the great Dick Allen, and one of my favorite sports photos of all time. (It captures the fun and joy of early '70's Sox teams; it obeys the rule of thirds). Glad he finally was recognized by @baseballhall.bsky.social
