Photo Of The Day: We’ll Call This One... ‘The Greatest Photo Of All Time, And Pitchers That Look Awesome’

Every day, SBNation.com will celebrate a random photo series from the past or present, making your morning a little more colorful.

The title's pretty self-explanatory and we're running late this morning, so I'll just add that this first picture is probably my favorite sports photo of all time.

A drunk and delirious Pedro, drenched with champagne, wearing a bucket on his head. You’re not beating that, Jordan’s Last Shot or Miracle on Ice. Maybe next century.

And now a few random shots of pitchers, just as a nod to their achievement in mulleted greatness. Dennis Eckersley, Mitch Williams, and the late Rod Beck, who masterfully combined a handlebar mustache with a world class mullet. May he rest in peace.

Then Williams and Eckersley, just because these actions shots are cool:

And finally this picture just makes me so happy.

I don’t know much in life, but I know I would have liked hanging out with Fernando Valenzuela during his heyday in Southern California. As always, thanks to Getty Images for providing the photos, and if you’ve got suggestions for future “Pitchers That Look Awesome”, feel free to add them in the comments.
