My Day at

The Field of Dreams

• I’d like to start off by showing you only what few fans that day got to see that day because security got there, but I was earlier than them! Imagine what modern day greats have graced this field of dreams!

Chief Zee

• Chief Zee is the fictional name of Zema Williams, a well-known fan of the Washington Redskins. Chief Zee first showed up in costume on September 5, 1978. In 1983, Chief Zee attended a game versus the Eagles at Veterans Stadium. While at the game, he was attacked by angry Philly fans, who broke his leg, tore off his original costume, and left him hospitalized. In 2000, Visa and the Pro Football Hall of Fame selected the biggest fan of each of the then-31 teams and placed them in an exhibit in Canton. He was the fan chosen for the Washington

Redskins.

#96 Cornelius Griffin

Santana Mosse’s Car Wide Receiver

#89

Fullback # 45 Mike Sellers

• This was a funny story to me I

could tell when I said to him “Mr.

Sellers my I have a picture?”.

He could tell I was a good kid!

The Owner

• I saw in a recent interview Dan Snyder said, “Years down the line I want the fans to say he was a pretty good owner” too bad that’s not what we think! That day I saw someone’s license plate was F-DAN. Told them I hope he doesn’t walk down here Dad said he’ll charge you! It was a rumor that he was there that day someone asked why didn’t he come out and greet his fans? Someone replied because he wanted to live! So I got a picture with his car for your enjoyment.

• This is the where all the battle plans are made! And people line up to see the players after they come out from a hard days work out. I swear before security came and I walked out to one of the windows and took a peek. I saw plays on a white board and I said to myself I know who’s office this is I look again and I see an angry man calling security! I think it was the old ball coach himself Jim Zorn. This is a moment I will never forget.

The Headquarters building

Jason Campbell’s Car “The

Quarterback” #17

Offensive Tackle #76:Jon Jansen’s Bus

• I remember when I was in 6th grade he would go on a radio show and talk about hunting and his hobbies and the game the day before. He was truly a man of the people! I recently found out he would use this bus to give Michigan (His place of birth) Doughnuts to all the players!

Carlos Rogers Cornerback #22

• Yea, he may be hard to see but it was the best I could do from how far away I was! He recently made a game saving interception!

Sean Taylor Tribute

• I would like to end this PowerPoint by showing you his parking spot with flowers. On November 26, 2007, at 1:45 a.m. EST, Taylor was shot in the upper leg by an armed intruder at his Palmetto Bay, Florida home, where he had been recuperating from a football injury. 2x Pro Bowl selection (2006, 2007*)

• All-Pro selection (2007*)

That day:

• I did a lot that day I got retired kick-return man Brian Mitchell's Autograph (currently on the Comcast Pregame show)

• I had some good food • Saw a lot of cars • And had some fun with my Old Pop
