Walton County, Fla:

One Fort Walton man wants to go down in history using aluminum foil.  The 200-pound ball took Steve Dealieu 10 years to roll, and several minutes to get a handle on just to roll out of his pick-up truck Thursday.

He delivered the ball to the Walton County Fair so it could be on display for the public. 

The ball is 8 feet in circumference, and he says as far as he knows it’s the largest in the U.S.

Dealieu says it all started almost by accident, thanks to his niece.

“She took a piece of foil and rolled it up and hit me upside the head, and I caught it and I was going to throw it back at her, but I caught it and stuck it in my pocket and I’ve been rolling it for 10 years,” he said.

Dealieu had started a ball 2 years prior, but it was stolen from his yard.  The new ball has a tracking device inside.
