Look at the smile!478 viewsThank you so much for posting my Grandson's pictures. His name is Christian Melnik, 8 years old, from Butler, PA.
Christian goes to 2nd grade at Center Township Elementary school in Butler, PA.
2013 was our third year going to training camp. We always try to make it to the night practice at Latrobe Stadium and have never even got close to getting Ben's autograph. But last summer, with the last open practice moved to St. Vincent, it gave us a better opportunity. We had just arrived at the field, and were sitting along the fence line when I saw Ben headed our way. I encouraged Christian to squeeze his way along the fence and hold his ground and just hold up the football as high as he could. There was a lot of pushing by the bigger kids, but Christian scored an autograph from his favorite player, #7. He clutched that ball all day, it now sits on our mantel above the fireplace.
I keep promising Christian we will make it to a football game at Heinz Field someday before he gets too much older, I'm not exactly getting any younger either. Hopefully, it'll be one of those lifelong memories between Grandfather and Grandson that we will never forget. -- Tom Melnik

August, 2012 - Bryce Bishop1166 views"Today is a day that we'll never forget! I open the door to get the mail and see a package at my feet. It was addressed to my son Bryce. He's 8 now, his birthday was August 10th. And knowing he had already received all his gifts already, I had no idea what it was. Then I saw the BigBen7 on the shipping label. I did seem to recall entering Bryce's name in a contest. Never thinking about winning. To our amazement, it was one of Ben's game worn cleats. The truly remarkable thing about this, the story gets better. The cleat matches the style Ben wore at home against the Ravens. As I'm comparing photos, I notice a stain on the back by the word 'Nike' that matches exactly a photo from the game. To own the game used cleat, of a childhood hero, from your very first game in Pittsburgh has to be a once in a lifetime. My eyes fill with tears just trying to take all this in. Ben and Erin, Bryce and I could never thank you enough. We are so hopeful to see Ben real soon, as to get a picture of Bryce, Ben and the newest edition to the family, Ben's shoe. Thank you both so very much!" -- Steve Bishop

2013 Steelers Training Camp505 views“My son, Jonny Evanchick is six years old. He was thrilled to get to see Ben up close and even more excited to get #7’s autograph on his new Steelers football. After he signed it he ran back to tell me the good news and insisted that we go back and buy another football because we can’t play with the signed one anymore.
He also forgot to ask Ben if he wanted his necklace. He was wearing one of those sports rope necklaces and thought it would help Ben on the field and wanted to offer it to him. I explained that maybe you’ll see him again some time and that I’m sure he’s already appreciative that you’re a supporter of him and the team.
Needless to say, my son is a big fan of Ben and made me play catch with him in the dark so he can emulate his favorite player. With the second football of course. Thank you once again.†– Jonathan Evanchick
