My brush with a 49er Great (True Story)

       One day, our cousin had offered us tickets to go see the 49ers play at the now demolished 
Candlestick Park. Being the huge 49ers fan that I am, I just couldn't pass up the opportunity
not to. Wearing my 49ers jersey, me and my Dad drove to Candlestick to watch them play. 
After being patted down by security, we went inside just in time for the game to begin. 
Little did I know that something amazing was about to happen. 

       We had gotten our seats and sat down when in the corner of my eye, I start seeing 
policemen escorting someone around the stadium. I couldn't make out who it was. 
All of a sudden they start walking up the aisle I was sitting in. Then that moment
I recognize who it was. It was 49ers legend Steve Young. Coming up my way and
walking past me, the only thing I could muster up was "I'm a big fan Steve."

     Turning around to look at me, he smiled and said "Thanks". I was completely 
starstruck when he spoke to me. The jersey I wore that day was of Steve Young's.
I learned later that they were going to retire his number at the game. Even though 
they lost, it was a day I'll never forget.
