Great turnout for Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero Day in downtown Gilroy on Saturday – quite a mix of music, cool old cars and booths featuring everything from Oakland Raiders gear to motorcycle parts to Christian reading materials. Through all the hubbub, Robert patiently signed autographs, stayed cheerful and chatted with fans as the long lines of people waited to meet and greet him. Good guy, hope there’s another marquee fight in his future. That would be good for “The Ghost” and good for Gilroy.
