Bad news for SF 49r's

[Rollo]

6. I got it as a ticket prize...

I was about 11 years old and the mother of a friend of mine gave us two tickets she got off a Christopher Milk carton. I assume it was some sort of contest. We were sitting in that section when to my surprise they announced my ticket number. My friend handled it graciously, and I returned the favor by bringing the football to his house so we could use it to play in the street, LOL. It's a bit scuffed up from that, but I still have it. Only John Brodie's signature - done in big magic marker - is still legible. The rest were in ball point pen and never were legible to begin with.

I also remember that as I was exiting Kezar, through a tunnel, some teens took a shine to the football and one of them kicked it out of my arms. But they did let me retrieve it. I guess for even them it was beneath their dignity to steal it from a little kid. Anyway, I earned that sucker, LOL.
