Young Fan Meets Player, Gets Souvenir After Stadium Run-In
(Champaign, IL) — Third grader B.J. West is celebrating an unexpected experience after having a run in at a Champaign stadium. West had gotten a glove from a star player Saturday after Eastern Michigan defeated the Fighting Illini. The glove was stolen by an adult fan before he could show his Dad. After his Dad posted a warning on Facebook about the incident, the girlfriend of Illinois offensive lineman Vederian Lowe reached out to the family. The two met B.J. Sunday and gave him a brand new pair of gloves signed by both of them.
