My Most Valuable Possesion

My most prized possession is a football receiver glove. For my 12th birthday, my parents and my grandpa took me to a New York Giants vs Dallas Cowboy game, because my favorite team, the Giants, were playing in Dallas. It was a Monday night game, so after my mom picked me up for school, she surprised me and told me we were going. So my mom, my dad, my grandpa and I headed towards Dallas. We got to the stadium, and went to our seats on the 7th row. It was a type of game that I liked because my team, the Giants, were completely dominating the Cowboys, which I hated. Because the margin was so large at halftime, most of the Cowboy fans had gone home, so we were able to move to the front row. We sat next to another Giants fan who was wearing a US Army uniform. We talked to him a lot and he was very nice. But during the second half of the game, the Cowboys came back and nearly won, so it ended up being an exciting game. I also enjoyed that Tony Romo hurt his shoulder while I was their. After the Giants ended up winning, we went and stood by the tunnel that the players walked into after the game. One of the Giants receivers, Mario Manningham, tossed his gloves up to the stands, and the army guy caught it. As we were leaving, he ran me down and told me he wanted me to have one of them. Its a 4XL size red glove with black stripes and a NFL logo on it. It’s not only my prized possession because it’s a glove used from a player from my favorite team, but its a reminder of my grandfather. The last time I ever saw him, besides when he was in the hospital, was when he went to the game with me.
