Fans Line Up For Garcia Autograph Session in NE Phila.

 

by KYW’s Hadas Kuznits

Hundreds of fans flocked to a Forman Mills store in Northeast Philadelphia on Tuesday night, where Eagles' quarterback Jeff Garcia held an autograph-signing session.

Garcia is a huge draw to Eagles fans, including one who said:

"There's a huge line and everything! I've never seen so many people."

But the line was so long it had to be cut off, leaving some fans disappointed:

"Because he left!"

(Kuznits:) "And you didn't get an autograph."

"No."

(Kuznits:) "You still like him even though you didn't get to see him?"

"Yeah."

You had to get there early if you wanted to see Jeff Garcia:

(Kuznits:) "How long did you wait in line to see him?"

"Four and a half hours."

(Kuznits:) "Was it worth it?"

"Yeah."

So why do they like him?

"You know, he's a true Philly kind of guy."

(Kuznits:) "Tell us why you really like him."

"Now, you know, my husband's out there waiting."

"He's a very handsome fellow, I must say."

"I think he can really run fast."

(Kuznits:) "Who do you like better, Garcia or McNabb?"

"I'm not going to pick and choose. They're both great players. It's a team. I love the team!"
