for a fun evening in Palo Alto.

Tom
Rathman's
professional
football career spanned nine years, the
first seven of which were with the San
Francisco 49ers. While in San Francisco,
Tom was backfield mates with another Nebraska
alumnus, Roger Craig. A selfless player
and unsung hero in the 49ers' success,
Tom spent much of his playing time providing
devastating blocks for Craig, helping
the Niners capture two World Championships
(Super Bowl XXIII and XXIV). In Super
Bowl XXIV, Rathman scored two touchdowns
in San Francisco's route of the Denver
Broncos. In 1989, he led all NFL running
backs in receiving with 73 receptions
for 616 yards! And now Tom is back with
the 49ers as the Runningbacks Coach on
Mike Singletary's staff. |
Signing
for over two hours, Tom was a great guest,
casually chatting with fans, posing for photos
and signing every type of 49er and collectible
imaginable (and even a few Raiders & Nebraska
memorabilia). Throw in Sourdough Sam and members
of the Goldrush and you have a fun, and very
special, evening in Palo Alto for all who
attended.
 Check

in the future for information on upcoming
in-store appearances and signings.
Thank
you very much to Tom, Sourdough and Goldrush
for a terrific signing. And most of all thanks
to all the 49er fans that made this such a
fun evening.
