Brian Leetch's #2 retirement night

TaDa

I am brand new to the hobby, and went to this game with a new Rebel XT with a cheap Canon 75-300 non-USM since B&H was out of stock of the USM. Because of many of the blurry shots, I convinced the wife into buying me the 70-300 IS USM for my birthday. Please be gentle as I am a complete beginner to the hobby, but I hope you folks enjoy the shots

This is outside Madison Square Garden
