Ms. Versatile, the totally two-footed Brandi Chastain started at the left back position for the United States 1999 Women's World Cup team. And it was in the Championship Game of that World Cup that this San Jose, CA native provided one of the greatest moments in the history of women's sports with her clinching penalty kick on the USA's fifth and final shot. And almost more memorable than her laser shot past Chinese goalkeeper Gao Hong was her reaction afterwards. In a spontaneous moment of pure joy, Brandi peeled off her shirt, clutching it in her hands as she fell to her knees. A classic moment that graced the cover of Time, Newsweek and Sports Illustrated in the weeks that followed the US victory. At her Sports Gallery Appearance, Brandi not only signed for her many fans in attendance, but also signed several unique and exclusive items for Sports Gallery. These two Nike soccer balls, the Nike Retro USA and the Nike Silver USA, are great collectibles hand-signed by Brandi that day along with her famous number "6." Only ONE remaining of retro ball!
