My most precious childhood possession was probably my Patrick Peterson jersey and gloves. When I was in fifth grade, my family and I went to Arizona for a Grand Canyon trip. But My dad and I really wanted to go to see the Cardinals play. We ended up going to a game and I was very excited. I wanted to see my favorite team the Arizona Cardinals and my favorite player Patrick Peterson for the first time. My dad and I traveled from our hotel in Scottsdale to Glendale. It was an NFC West showdown, Cardinals vs. Rams, and we had to get to the game early, so I could get a jersey. When we got there I, of course, bought a Patrick Peterson jersey and was super excited. Sadly, the Cardinals lost the game, but Patrick Peterson got an interception and he gave me his game worn gloves in the stands.
After the game, he invited my family and I to go eat at a restaurant called “Papadeaux’s”. The restaurant was great and we had a great time. Patrick is a really nice guy and I enjoyed myself. After we ate, he told me he had a surprise for me. So we went out to his car, which was a Rolls Royce, and pulled out his game jersey out of the trunk. He signed it and asked for the gloves and signed those too. It was one of the best days of my life and I’ll keep the jersey and gloves forever.
