Toronto Argonauts legend Michael "Pinball" Clemons had one of his Grey Cup rings stolen Friday night at B.C. Place.
The Argonauts were in town for a game against the Lions and Clemons, the team's vice-chairman, was roaming the sidelines throughout the game cheering on his team and talking to fans.
At one point, Clemons tossed one of his Grey Cup rings to a fan in the stands for a photo opportunity when the fan reportedly grabbed the meaningful piece of jewelry and ran off with it.
"Last night at #BCLions game Pinball tossed his Grey Cup ring into crowd for fan to take pic with it. A woman tried it on, then left building," said TSN 1050's Mike Hogan in a tweet Saturday morning. "If anyone knows story or even better had a picture of woman, please contact Vancouver police."
The 49-year-old Clemons is a former player and coach of the Argos and one of the most recognizable faces in the CFL. He won three Grey Cups as a player withy the Argonauts (1991, 1996, 1997) and one as coach (2004). He was also in his current role as vice-chairman for the Argos' 2012 Grey Cup victory.
