49ers, Giants legends honored with S.F. streets

Joe Montana had one request as he received a ceremonial sign for a street that will be named after him where Candlestick Park once stood.

That the street also honor the wide receiver who caught the 49ers legend's most famous pass.

"I would like to share this," Montana said at the two-hour event at San Francisco's City Hall. "I would ask that you change this to Montana-Clark Drive."

The iconic image of Dwight Clark reaching up to catch Montana's throw -- a play known in NFL lore as The Catch -- in the waning moments of the 1982 NFC Championship Game was one of several memorable sports moments at the 49ers' former stadium.
