This week's Star Tribune Sports Virtual Happy Hour was all about the clicks. Not viral ones, although some of these classic photographs sure struck a chord with many — in some instances around the globe.
Ten writers and reporters gathered Wednesday night via computer to pick our favorite sports photographs in a snake-style draft. Some are iconic and familiar.
Others had meaning to the people who selected them. In most cases, they drummed up a memory or two from a time when the sports world stopped with one click of the shutter and we all took notice.
We can't show you all the photos here. But if you want to see them, and about a dozen more that didn't quite make the list, scroll through our Virtual Happy Hour live blog at the bottom of www.startribune.com/sportspix. (By the way, we're taking Wednesday night off from Happy Hour because of the holiday weekend.)
