Ed Mailliard has been to more fanciful places than Latrobe, Pennsylvania, in his illustrious 50-year career as a sports media member.
That's not to say Saint Vincent College, home of the Pittsburgh Steelers' training camp for 60 years now, is beneath Mailliard. It's quite the opposite, in fact.
Mailliard, a Meadville native, has spent 40 years as a sports photographer. His most recognizable work can be seen on Topps' trading cards for the MLB's spring training, which he has been doing since 1987. But Malliard's sports career began long before those iconic photos.
It started in 1972, when Mailliard began working for the Meadville Tribune as a sportswriter. He retired from the Tribune in 2013, but he stayed active in the local sports scene by continuing to shoot photos for Allegheny College other local schools.
Over the course of 54 years, Mailliard has been promoting local athletes through his photography work. His roots are deep in the Crawford County Area and his passion for Allegheny College athletics is what brought him to Saint Vincent College on Tuesday.
