Related: About this forumCheck out 4-year-old Tom Brady at 'The Catch' game at Candlestick
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/check-out-4-year-old-tom-brady-at--the-catch--game-at-candlestick-180527897.htmlNew England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has mastered the whole social media thing, much like he has mastered everything else.
Nobody has done better posting throwback photos on Facebook (or, whoever runs Brady's Facebook page posts them), and the latest one is a huge hit. A crying 4-year-old Brady in the final moments of one of the most famous games ever, the NFC championship game at the end of the 1981 season.
That was "The Catch," or Dwight Clark's touchdown way back on Jan. 10, 1982, that pushed the San Francisco 49ers to their first Super Bowl.
Brady's childhood love for the 49ers has been well chronicled, as has his admiration for 49ers legendary quarterback Joe Montana. But to be at "The Catch"? It has to be that game too, because no other San Francisco-Dallas game had that score during Brady's early childhood.
