It’s that time again, so I’m pleased to present the Journal’s second-annual Sports Photos of the Year. This year’s choices, in no particular order: Carrier Classic, Tebowing, Vancouver riot, Paterno TwitPic, Cuban’s cigar and Mayweather’s knockout. But wait. There’s more! I also spoke with the very professional and very amateur photographers responsible for all six shots for a behind-the-lens perspective on 2011 in images. Oh, and one more thing: Happy New Year.
