Dwight Clark has made his last incredible catch

He's known for making "The Catch" but he was a great tight end. ALS sucks.

 

This picture is from a different angle and #26 from the Cowgirls in the background is hilarious.

RIP, Dwight Clark. I didn't realize until I heard this that he had ALS. "The Catch" will live forever.

"I am heartbroken to tell you that today I lost my best friend and husband. He passed peacefully surrounded by many of the people he loved most. I am thankful for all of Dwight’s friends, teammates and 49ers fans who have sent their love during his battle with ALS."

RIP Dwight even though that catch was a dagger to my heart!

I was eleven years old and at my girlfriend's house with some friends the night of the catch. After the game ended, I abruptly left, got on my bike and cried all the way home.

I was 20 years old and 27 years old when the 49ers narrowly beat the Bengals in the Super Bowl.

 

I cried both times.
