Crosby shows up unannounced at fan's house to sign jersey

More proof that Sidney Crosby is perfect. And on his 29th birthday, no less.

The Chronicle Herald published a story about the Pittsburgh Penguins captain taking care of some unfinished business in Halifax, Nova Scotia, showing up at a fan's house to sign a sweater of his.

Patricia Lingley-Pottie's husband Darryl placed a plywood sign - complete with a hanging Crosby jersey - outside their home in Enfield, Nova Scotia, with a simple message: "SID PLEASE SIGN MY JERSEY."

Crosby wasn't able to get to it earlier this summer when he was taking the Stanley Cup home to Cole Harbour. But even though the sign was gone when he was back in the neighborhood (it stayed up for a week), he showed up at Lingley-Pottie's door weeks later, ringing the doorbell like any other Conn Smythe Trophy and Cup winner would.

"I was just shocked," Lingley-Pottie said. "I was just so full of joy.

"He remembered."

Crosby stayed at the Pottie household for 20 minutes, taking pictures and signing one for the family, as well.

Yeah, he's perfect.
