Letters to 87

When Clark and sportswriter Matt Maiocco put out a call to fans to share their memories of "The Catch," no one could have predicted the outpouring of love for the man who wore number 87. Letters to 87 is the compilation of these heartfelt letters, rare photos and includes essays by Edward J. DeBartolo Jr., Ronnie Lott, Joe Montana, Brian Murphy and Kelly Clark. All royalties will go to support Dwight Clark's charity of choice, the Golden Heart Fund. Find out more at lettersto87.com/.
