New York, New York (February 1, 2007) Giants superstar Tiki Barber celebrated his retirement from the NFL at Gotham Magazine's 7th Annual Gala on January 30th at Capitale in New York.

New Yorkers showed up in hordes at Gotham Magazine's Gala to show support for their favorite magazine and sportsman, Giants running back and Gotham magazine's Yearbook issue cover star Tiki Barber. Tiki's mirror image, twin Ronde Barber, greeted his brother on the red carpet along with New York Giants Eli Manning, David Diehl, Amani Toomer, and Jay Feely. Standing behind the pack of football players was a six year old fan that waited patiently in his #21 jersey to meet his favorite player finally getting a photo and football signed by the beaming guest of honor. The young boy wasn't the only fan to walk away with special memorabilia as an official NFL Pro Bowl jersey, game jersey, helmet, and football all autographed by Tiki himself were prizes in a silent auction which rose over $2500 for charity.
