www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35296389/steelers-hall-fame-running-back-franco-harris-dies-72Wow! This story cuts me to the core! Franco Harris was the reason that I became a die-hard Steelers fan. He was my childhood sports hero, same as Pelé and Messi are to the soccer, (fútbol), fans. I remember him as a blocking back for Lydell Mitchell at Penn State. He was drafted to block for Frenchy Fuqua but he became the premier running back, earning rookie of the year! I also remember watching the 'Immaculate Reception' on our Montgomery Wards 25" color TV. Needless to say I went nuts that day. What a shame, they were retiring his number here on the 50th anniversary and listed as the #1 Play in NFL History! Rest in peace Franco!
