My FAVORITE "Fan Appreciation Night" Moment

This has to be one of my ALL-TIME FAVORITE "Fan Appreciation Night" moments!! I wasn't lucky enough to be at the game for this one, but I will never forget watching this unfold on TV -- I honestly talked about it for days!!

The little boy in the above picture (I think his name was Antonio if I remember correctly) was just SO EXCITED to get a jersey from THE Sidney Crosby that he just kept rambling on and on about how great it was and that he was going to hang it up in his room, etc. All Crosby was trying to do was get him to spell his name so he could sign his jersey -- it was just the cutest thing (this pic really captures the moment well - look at the wonderment on this little guy's face!)!! OH - and notice Crosby's tongue sticking out (yet again) as he concentrates on signing the jersery!!! ; )

I'm hoping I'm able to get some good pictures at this "Fan Appreciation Night," so I'll be posting them sometime later today or tomorrow if they turn out OK.

In the meantime, if you have a "Fan Appreciation Night" ALL-TIME FAVORITE moment, please feel free to share (especially if you were one of the fans lucky enough to get a jersey of a Penguins player's back!)!!!

My favorite moment was last night! The Pens gave away their Penguins Ranger away so it was sitting on the ice, after Max Talbot gave his jersey away he tried to drive the ranger while the other players threw shirts at him!
