49ers
Great (& 4-Time Super Bowl Champ) Eric Wright
Helps Celebrate
Sports Gallery Palo Alto's Grand Re-Opening
 On
September 8th, 2007 49ers Great Eric Wright made
a special in-store appearance at our Palo
Alto, California Store,
helping us celebrate the store's Grand Re-Opening.
Closed since a massive fire in the neighboring
building on the evening of July 1st, our Palo
Alto Store was finally ready to re-open after
months of repairs due to flooding and water damage.
And Eric was there to help us celebrate.
Signing
for almost two hours, Eric was a great guest,
chatting with fans, graciously posing for pictures,
and signing their 49er keepsakes. And Eric is
a significant part of Niners history. An all-Big
Eight defensive back in 1979 and '80, he was a
first-team choice on Missouri's all-century team
in 1990. A member of the Missouri Football Hall
of Fame, Wright was drafted by the San Francisco
49ers in 1981. Drafted by Bill Walsh and playing
in a defensive backfield that included HOF'er
Ronnie Lott, Eric is one of just five players
who played on all four of San Francisco's Super
Bowl championship teams during the decade of the
1980s.

thanks to all the fans that made our Grand Re-Opening
such a fun party!
