The Pittsburgh Steelers will retire the No. 32 worn by running back Franco Harris in December to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the play known as the “Immaculate Reception.”

Harris will become just the third member of the legendary Steelers franchise—the winner of six Super Bowls—to have his number retired, joining Joe Greene (75) and Ernie Stautner (70).
