I spent many a Friday night running up and down side lines to stay with the action.
as to the ali-liston shot, this proves the value of "f8 and be there" as the secret to all great photography. Some really great shots used to be taken with speed graphics, even.
I'm a working photojournalist and do it every day, though now I call it "f2.8 and there."
Is all about if the subject or subjects are moving or not. You can even shoot a car race with your TLR if the cars aren't moving. Stop down from F8 to F16. The shutter speed is tricky. If you can use flash and it will freeze all actions even at 1/125s. You would most likely have success using flash. Of course, you are restricted by the FL. So, you need to shoot something more closer, not field sports like football or soccer.
The widely-acknowledged single greatest sports photograph of all time...

If you are a true master, you can follow action in a TLR's WLF without resorting to the sports finder
