To a seniors home, of course.

At least that’s what Winnipeg Blue Bombers running back Brady Oliveira did on Wednesday, hauling the shiny piece of history to Oakview Place, a personal care home on Ness Ave.

There he parked the trophy in front of a woman who’s almost as old as the Cup itself: 107-year-old Ruby Fraser.

“I’m thinking probably the oldest person living in Manitoba right now,” Oliveira told the Winnipeg Sun on Thursday. “And it’s the 107th Grey Cup.”

What could be more perfect?

“When I walked the Grey Cup in there … you heard a little scream of joy from her,” Oliveira said. “She was in awe. We shared great conversation, memories of her past, going to Bombers games, and talked about my journey a bit.

“That time is something I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”
