Photo of the Day: Bruno Sammartino poses with Willie Mays, Clyde Frazier and Phil Esposito

By Jake Mintz

Wrestling legend Bruno Sammartino passed away earlier this week at the age of 82. The Italian-born heavyweight still holds the record for the longest reign as World Heavyweight Champion in the history of WWE/WWF/WWWF. 
This incredible photo was taken at a 1983 event billed as the "Greatest Sports Legend reunion" and features Sammartino alongside Hall of Famer Willie Mays, New York Knicks legend Walt "Clyde" Frazier and former hockey great Phil Esposito.

Sammartino spent much of time outside the ring in the city of Pittsburgh and even threw out the first pitch a Pirates game back in 2010.
