This past weekend Bob's Furniture had former NY Giants signing autographs at there stores in the tri-state area. Each day a different player appeared at different stores for 2 hrs at a time.
On Saturday while driving to Lakewood NJ, I stopped at the Bobs in Flatbush and got Rodney Hampton on my Giants Stadium seat back.
Mr. Hampton was a 1st rd pick in 1990 by the Giants, he was a 2x Pro Bowl selection and played in Super Bowl XXV with the Giants and was a running back. He had 49 rushing TD's and 2 receiving TD's.
He held the Giants record for career rushing yards with 6,897 until Tiki Barber surpassed him in 2004
Typical there are lines for events. So, I got there about hour early and no one was online yet. The appearance time was to start at noon and when Mr. Hampton arrived there was just 2 of us waiting. Pretty surprised, that not more showed up for autographs. Mr. Hampton I thought was the best of the players appearing on Saturday.
Bad angle with the glare. Mr. Hampton signed beneath Sean Landeta.
On Sunday I was on my way up to Westchester and stopped at the Bob's in Carle Place and added Eric Dorsey to the seat back. When I got to the store there was about 20 people already on line.
Mr. Dorsey was a 1st rd pick in 1986 by the Giants and was a Defensive End. He appeared in Super Bowl XXI and XXV with the Giants.
In the next day or so I will write a post about the Lakewood game
Thanks for Reading and Check Back soon!!!

Both Mr Dorsey and Mr. Hampton were real nice and took pictures and signed multiple items
