Year after year, thousands of photographers take thousands of photographs of hundreds of games. Many of these pictures are never used, fewer end up having any lasting appeal, but some, a select few, end up being photos that define the entire year in the beautiful game. The capacity of a single photo to condense a thousand moments of heartbreak and glory into a single image is one of the most romantic notions in sports, on or off the field, and photographers spend their entire careers chasing photos that capture such transcendent moments.
