Big Ben

Original Toronto Star caption: Big Ben: Metro's pride and joy and the world's fastest man accepted cheers and praise from thousands of admirers in a parade up Bay St. last week. Johnson, who broke the world record of 9.83 seconds in the 100-metre race in Rome on Aug. 30, woke up in his Scarborough home the morning of Ben Johnson Day and found his street festooned with streaming yellow ribbons, welcoming him home. The Star's Royson James spent the day with the Johnson family.
