NHL Hall of Fame Defenseman Al MacInnis

Well I was going thru some paperwork and found a success I don't think I ever posted on here. Back in early December 2006, there was a sports collector convention here in St. Louis and I got to meet Al MacInnis in person. It was a very and I do mean very brief meeting as the line was well over 100 yards long... probably 400-500 people waiting to get his signature. So I had already printed out a photo of him that I thought was cool and took that with me to have him sign. We got to take a snap shot with him from across the table as he signed it but he didn't speak to anyone except maybe the littler kids in line which I totally understand. If I would have been way back in the line, I would have been ticked if he would have taken a minute to chat with everyone only to get close to him and have them close the line on me. So anyways, here is the pic that I had him sign... you had to pay extra to have it personalized so it wasn't that big of a deal to me... he signed it in the lower right hand corner in silver sharpie! Glad I came across this one again LOL!
