Hundreds of people â some from as far away as Washington and New Jersey â circled around him as a Burger King crown too big for the 4-year-oldâs head fell to his shoulders. His dad â Josh Vinson Sr. â shouted âlift him up,â and a man proudly lifted Little Josh on his shoulders. The crowd cheered as Little Josh showed his championship belt.
âItâs pretty awesome,â said Vinson Sr., reflecting on his sonâs new fame.
