No. 1: You Can Watch “The Catch” on Repeat

It’s the greatest play in all of football. Heck, maybe it’s the greatest play in all of professional sports.

Almost every 49ers fan would think so.

Even casual students of Niners history don’t need any education on “The Catch.” You know, the play where an up-and-coming Joe Montana found wide receiver Dwight Clark in the end zone to send the 49ers to the Super Bowl over the hated Dallas Cowboys.

That was in 1982. Here we are in 2017 still talking about it.

And it isn’t as if we’re just hearkening back to the Niners’ glory years. No, almost every NFL top-10 play list has to include this play.

So there you go, 49ers fans. Here are the reasons you know you’re a Niners fan and part of the Faithful.

And these reasons will surely be passed down to upcoming generations of San Francisco fans as the red and gold continue the Quest for Six.
