The "Sports Photo of the Year"

The above photo by Stan Grossfeld of the Boston Globe shows Boston police officer Steve Horgan cheering as Detroit Tigers right fielder Torii Hunter fails to catch a grand slam hit by the Red Sox's David Ortiz. The hit tied the score and set the stage for a Boston win in the second game of the ALCS playoffs. The picture, which is being called the "Sports Photo of the Year," has since gone viral because it's a great photograph but also because it's a big thumbs up to the Boston Police Department after their handling of the Boston Marathon bombing.
