Dwight Clark, who made one of the most famous catches in NFL history, died Monday -- 15 months after he announced he had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. "I am thankful for all of Dwight’s friends, teammates and 49ers fans who have sent their love during his battle with ALS." A two-time Pro Bowler, Clark played for nine years with the San Francisco 49ers and became known as one of quarterback Joe Montana's most reliable receivers. He added a second Super Bowl ring to his playing resume following the 1984 season when the 49ers defeated the Miami Dolphins, 38-16. Clark made his last public appearance in October when the 49ers hosted "Dwight Clark Day" at Levi's Stadium.
