Default NY Giants charity basketball game

So tonight my son Ryan and I went to watch my daughters former high school alumni and faculty play some past NY Giant players.
Stephen Baker, Perry Williams, Odessa Turner, Curtis McGriff, and Byron Hunt were among the players.
I went up to each one during the half time autograph event. I had told Byron Hunt at the last one of these event two years ago, that if I ever had a Giants team in competition that I would have him on my team. This year at Miggle , I did that.
I had my team rosters for the three teams I have. The 86, 90, and 2006 Giant teams. Raiderman crafted my 2006 team and they are real sharp , so I brought them to the event.
I went up to each guy and had my copy of the latest tweak with Greg on the cover. I said that I wanted them to sign my team roster for my electric football team and there was like a delayed reaction time to each guy. I asked if they played as a youth, and most replied no until I showed them the tweak and a few players. Then it was like home movies going on in their heads. Each guy told a quickie about playing. They all said the Giant players I had were great.
Stephen Baker and Odessa Turner were on the same table. Odessa was very competitive and wanted to get back to the basketball game, Stephen was just as happy as can be signing stuff. There was only seconds left before the buzzer went off signaling the end of memorabilia time and I got to Stephen Baker.
I showed him the 86 roster and he signed it as I told him what it was. I then showed him the Tweak. He started talking about playing this in high school. He told how he and his friends put baby powder on the field to make it look like snow. He wanted to talk and talk about the game and Odessa popped him in the head with his towel and told him , come on. Stephen did not stop for a minute, he signed three or for more autographs and had pictures taken with people but kept talking about how much he enjoyed electric football.
The funny thing was that Perry Williams also told about putting baby powder on the field and he was at a completely different ens of the basketball court and no connection but experience with electric football.
I gave Stephen Baker the web site and you never know, he just might check it out.
I showed a bunch of people there the tweak and kept opening up the the article about Reggie. The response to the pictures of the stadiums was great.

So all in all I had a great time talking up the hobby.
I will post pictures tomorrow after my daughter makes them the size I can post on this site.
