Upper St. Clair Child Signs with the Pittsburgh Power

The Make-A-Wish Foundation fulfills 10-year-old's wish to be a member of the Pittsburgh Power.

The Pittsburgh Power Football team signed a new player to their roster — very special player.

The Pittsburgh Power introduced Michael "Mick" Walsh, 10, at the UPMC Sports Performance Complex on Pittsburgh's South Side Wednesday night.

After Walsh signed a contract with the team, answered a few questions from the media and received his first pay check from Power's owner Matt Shaner, Mick joined his new teammates for the evening practice session.
