In a 1972 NFL playoff game, Franco Harris caught a football thrown by Quarterback Terry Bradshaw. The football had bounced off of another player, but had not touched the ground. The play was so unusual that announcer Myron Cope dubbed it the "immaculate reception."
Delgrosso produced a special pasta sauce and the former football star that inspired the idea was on hand at a grocery store to sign the jars of sauce.
From a flyer:
