Who Shot Sports: A Photographic History from 1843 to the Present is a 2017 exhibit, organized by the Brooklyn Museum, at the Allentown Art Museum which says: "As the exhibition demonstrates, the finest sports photographers, their skills honed from years of practice, are capable of capturing a fleeting moment and making it memorable, often from a surprising or revealing point of view.
