A long line of fans from newborns to seniors, most dressed in blue and white carrying items from football helmets to jerseys to pieces of art, waited along Main Street Monday evening for a chance to meet Eli Manning.

The two-time Super Bowl champion signed autographs and posed for pictures at Legends Gallery.

Some of the more than 1,000 in line, which began forming as early as noon, came from New York and as far as Maryland to see the New York Giants quarterback.

Eli's the man! He's a class act, granted he's getting paid to show up, but he really seems to enjoy meeting all the fans! True southern gentleman! Go Giants!

Anyone who scores four touchdowns in a single game warrants praise and recognition. You're just jealous of Al's skills on the field.

Under no circumstances may anyone touch Eli. Yay for the guy with the seat from original Giants Stadium.
