Training Camp - August 4, 20101367 viewsBillie Jo said the little girl in the photo above was supposed to hand Ben her little football, but she suddenly threw him a pass instead, which he caught...and then laughed.
Her email is below:
Erin,
I have been sitting here trying to put into words how awesome Steelers Training Camp was for me, just sitting there watching these guys practice was such an amazing feeling, especially Big Ben...I have been a Roethlisberger fan since he was drafted into the NFL and I knew that he was going to be the young man that would take us to another Super Bowl - and look! he gave us two so far, so to be there and only be 10 steps from him was incredible. Watching him on the field laughing and joking with his teammates was awesome, and seeing first-hand how the fans reacted was even better. There was so many people wearing Roethlisberger Jerseys, as he would take a snap the crowd just cheered, it really made feel so proud to be a fan, especially after Ben's fear of being booed.
However, all these moments of watching Ben on the field were pretty special, but I think the most memorable moment was when this little boy, about 5-years old came running up the hill, holding his football in both hands, spinning in circles, screaming over and over again, "Big Ben signed my football!". This was something I will never forget, just seeing the joy on that little boy's face was priceless and to know that our QB made that happen was even better.
There is one last thing I want to share... I attend the late night practice at Latrobe High School Football Stadium tonight and I just wanted everyone to know that so many people where cheering for Ben and at one point, while several us where yelling his name he looked up with this smile and gives us a wave, that is a memory that I will always cherish.
Always and forever a Roethlisberger Fan...
Billie Jo

August 1, 20101334 views- "Roethlisberger just took off his shoe, signed it and handed to a young boy. Then repeated it with the other shoe." -- Tweets from the New York Post's Bart Hubbuch.
And from an article in USA Today:
Once practice ended, fans clamoring to get his signature knocked down a mesh plastic security fence near the Chuck Noll Field grandstands.
Roethlisberger, noticing one youngster getting shoved aside, took off one of his practice shoes, signed it and gave it to 8-year-old Micah Delattre of Houtzdale, Pa.
“Everyone was pushing me and I was crying and he just gave it to me,” Delattre said.

Training Camp - August 5, 20101331 viewsHi Erin,
Words cannot describe how excited I am (still) to have attended the August 5th and 6th training camp sessions of the Pittsburgh Steelers. I have been a fan of the team since 1997 and a fan of Ben since 2004. At the camp, I was amazed to hear the loud cheers for Ben as he came out to practice, and to see so many fans wearing his jersey! The cheers lasted throughout practice as fans watched Ben closely run drills with his offense. He looked very fit and relaxed; he laughed and joked around with his teammates, especially Hines Ward!
Unfortunately, after practice, most of the players, including Ben, were carted off the field and I was unable to get an autograph. Hopefully next time I will get one!
This was my first Steelers training camp experience and it will certainly NOT be the last!! I cannot wait to see Ben and his teammates on August 21st at their pre-season game against the NY Giants at Meadowlands stadium.
Have a great year, Ben!! GO Steelers!! Go Ben!!
Sincerely,
Elli
