Handmade Christmas Ornament1416 viewsDie-hard Red Sox fan (yes, Red Sox fan) Anna Harkey carved this ornament, by hand, from a lump of clay while watching the AFC Championship Game between the Steelers and Ravens on January 18th, 2009! Anna made two other ornaments for me during the holidays of a Red Sox player (the subject of my other site), and decided to try her hand at creating an ornament on the subject of this site: Big Ben...all while watching the game!!
A surprise package arrived Thursday, January 22nd with this incredible ornament inside! The photo does not do it justice! The towel over Ben's shoulder is actually textured to look just like a real towel and the Steelers logo on his cap is perfect!
Anna, thank you so much....again! -- Erin

First day of camp - July 31, 20101415 viewsFrom fan Tracy Pruden:
Good Morning Erin!
Had a wonderful weekend in Pittsburgh. Seeing Ben come out and practice made the 6-hour drive worth it. He looked great and refreshed. I was happy to hear and see all the fans cheering his name. I was able to get a high-five and an autograph from him. He's such a sweetheart, signing autographs, talking and taking pictures with the fans. He was standing right in front of me signing autographs and I wanted so bad to say something to him but the words wouldn't come out. All I could do was smile. He stepped in a small water puddle while shoeless and ask if anyone had a size 14 shoe they could lone him and my hubby took his shoe off and said to Ben, "I got a size 15 you can have", Ben chuckled.
I purchased a 2011 Steelers Team calendar which several of the guys signed for me. I was able to get Hines and Ben's autograph for their specific month. What a way to kick off the 2011 year then with Mr.January aka Ben Roethlisberger.
This was our second year in a row attending training camp and as far as Ben goes, nothing has changed. He's still a great guy and a people pleaser. I want people to know how humble he is. He doesn't mind signing autographs or taking pictures for the fans. He was one of the last players to leave the practice field on Saturday evening from signing all the autographs. He did all he could to sign every autograph request. I could name a few players that didn't even acknowledge the fans.
I figured certain individuals would say that Ben was doing all the autograph signing and picture-taking to get "in good" with the public. BUT, that is not the case. Ben didn't start mingling with the public overnight, he's been doing it. As I said, I was at training camp in August of last year and watched Ben sign autographs and give fans high-fives. I also saw him address the media with a smile on his face as he answered their pointless questions.
*Thank you so much to Tracy (and her husband for snapping the photo!)

04/14/11 - The Footballers vs. Hampton Township Teachers1414 viewsThen seconds later the court was flooded with fans – desperate to get at the players. The PA told everybody to stay back – but nobody took any notice as the players were walking off. I only noticed that this little girl was going crazy not just for Roethlisberger but for the camera! Of course I was only too happy to oblige.
