Flyers' "Sign Man"

I loved this article about a long-time Philadelphia Flyers fan, nicknamed the "Sign Man." I love stories about people who become famous for something as simple as holding a sign as a hockey game, about people who become part of the lore of whatever it is they've dedicated themselves to.

An article would not have been written about Sign Man if his message was as commonplace as "Go Team!" or "We love you Big Fat Goalie!"




The article lists the top Sign Man signs of the past almost-four decades. My two favorites are:
1. Ref Chart (copy of an eye chart that reads, as the letters get smaller with each line – “bad call, you’re hopeless”).
2. Start the Bus (as the Flyers are close to clinching a victory).
