  • Michael John Esposito (born April 24, 1953) is a former American football running back in the National Football League. He played for the Atlanta Falcons. He played college football for the Boston College Eagles. Esposito was a participant in the 1974 East-West Shrine Game. As part of the game, each player would visit the Shriners Hospitals for Children. While visiting, he noticed Nicole Worley-Urteaga, a 2-year-old patient with Holt-Oram syndrome. She appeared scared and was crying. Esposito took her hand to calm her down and they walked down the hallway together. A photographer from a local newspaper noticed the scene and snapped a photo of the two. The image became the inspiration for the official logo of the East-West Shrine Game and is displayed annually on the 50-yard line.
