My friend Sarah and I ventured out to the Brooklyn Flea market this past weekend. Found randomly was this vintage NY Giants hat signed by Jeff Hostetler. If you don't know this story of this extremely strange character then you need to know. The back up to Phil Simms for years, Hostetler was thrust into stardom when Simms broke his foot after the Giants already clinched the play offs in '91. He took over and they won every game and the Superbowl, mostly because of a missed field goal by the Buffalo Bills. He eventually was traded and did some good things as a journeyman quarterback, but only one superbowl. I would have paid a lot of money for this awesome hat alone, to get it signed by the most random guy to win the big game for the GEANTS is even better.
Unfortunately this hat did not bring the Giants luck on Sunday when they turned over the ball as many times as they could to Tennessee. Still you can expect this True Blue to wear this incredible hat every game for the rest of my life. Awesome, awesome find!
Now if I could just grow a stache as awesome as this!
