Meet Benjamin “Big Ben” Shank!479 viewsBen said this was the best year of his life because he is 7-years old (you know, the #7) and because he is also named after his favorite player.
“Benjamin is holding his 2nd grade holiday project: a Christmas ornament designed with his favorite interests. Of course my Big Ben chose the Steelers, showcasing #7 and Big Ben at the top! He also has all NFL teams and their records memorized for the 2012-2013 season and has his playoff predictions ready (Steelers are his #1 choice!). Not bad for a 7-year old!” – Natalie Aikens, proud mom.

Ben and Berger!921 viewsBaby Ben DeSantis is busy tasting his football while his dog Berger keeps a protective eye on him.
Ben's dad Paul said he has gotten "a lot of flack" for naming his female dog "Berger", but it worked better than "Ben". He saved that for his son!

February 27, 2011 in Norman, OK1732 views7-year old Cooper and his big brother, 11-year old Brett had the opportunity to meet Ben in Norman, Oklahoma on Sunday, February 27th.
Ben was in town to attend sister Carlee's games as her Oklahoma Sooners finish out final home games of the season.
According to the boys' grandmother, Cheryl Kent, Cooper is a "huge" Ben fan as well as a big Steelers fan and has been since he was 3-years old. "He knows everything there is to know about Ben," said Cheryl. "He can even give you details about the Super Bowl when they beat Arizona, he was 5 at the time."
Cooper wears his Big Ben jersey and carries his football to every OU Women's Basketball game in hopes that he will see Ben! As Cheryl put it, on Sunday "luck was on our side, he was there!"
Cheryl snapped a photo of her grandsons with Ben after the game.
"Ben was so kind to autograph Cooper's football and meet the boys after the game! His small act of kindness made a little fan the happiest little boy in the world. I am so impressed at how nice Ben was and how he went out of his way for these two little boys."
*Thank you so much to Cheryl for sharing the photo and story!
