You may have heard that, in conjunction with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Portland recently signed a five-year-old cancer battler named Derrick Tellez to a one-day contract just so he could fulfill his dream of being a Timbers first-teamer. He took part in a training session, was around the club during their weekend victory and was even voted Man of the Match by the fans after the game.
Here's a brief look at his time with the club that could put a smile on the Grinch's face...
