July 27, 2012 - Jeffrey Metz890 views This is a story about a young man and his courage. Jeffrey Metz was born in San Diego, CA with cerebral palsy. My name is Mickey Metz, Jeffrey's uncle. I'm originally from the north side of Pittsburgh, but have been living in Orlando, FL since 1985. We have family in Mt. Pleasant, PA so I decided to invite Jeffrey to go on a road trip to Steelers training camp with me, my son, and my brother. His parents were reluctant to allow him to fly by himself to Orlando because of his physical disability, but Jeffrey won out and flew from Bakersfield, CA to our home in Orlando to start the road trip to Pennsylvania. He flew 3,000 miles and rode for 1,200 miles.
Friday, July 27, 2012, the first day of camp open for the public was the day that changed Jeffrey's life forever.
We arrived at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, PA at noon. Upon arriving I sought out several staff members to see if there was any assistance (a wheelchair) for Jeffrey to get to the playing fields and unfortunately they couldn't provide any. We weren't sure how to get Jeffrey down the hillside from the handicap parking lot but Jeffrey knew the only chance he had to meet his favorite player, Ben Roethlisberger, was to climb down all the steps to the playing field. So even with a major fear of steps, he made it to the bottom - one slow step at a time, with crutches, to watch the players on the field.
After practice, Jeffrey climbed down the few remaining steps to the field level in hopes that Ben would notice him wearing his #7 jersey. However, Ben walked the opposite way from us to the other side of the grandstand to sign autographs. Still determined, Jeffrey climbed back up the stairs, walked to the other side and then back down the steps to the side where Ben was. Unfortunately, by this time Ben was already a distance away from where Jeffery was. Other fans noticed Jeffrey and his obvious desire to get Ben's attention, so they started chanting, "Ben, Ben, Ben", but Ben didn't realize what was happening, so he just smiled at the fans and kept moving down the line signing more autographs. Jeffrey was not giving up! He walked along the hillside around another large group of fans to get along the fence in hopes that Ben would still be signing at the end of that row where he now stood.
Ben finally reached Jeffrey and signed his football. He also stopped to take a photo with Jeffrey (above)....

August 30, 2010 - Teddy shows off his "Big Ben Shoe"1866 viewsWe were just at the Steelers-Broncos game in Denver (August 29th) and we'd like to thank Ben for tossing his shoe to us. It's the first time I ever sat in the front row and I apprehensively bought the tickets a week before, wondering what I was doing spending so much money on a pre-season game…. Now, I know why.
This was my son's first ever football game and I can't tell you how exited he is to have one of Ben's shoes (see photo above showing his fellow 1st and 2nd graders).
If we hadn't left our seats at halftime, I'm sure Ben would have signed the shoe like he did for the kid and dad sitting next to us...oh well. As I told my son, only 2 in 66,000 people at the game got one of Ben's shoes.
I don't know what is next for my son. At 6-months old, Jackson Browne picked him up at a concert and now at 6-years old, Ben gave him a shoe!
Thank you again, Ben from the bottom of our hearts!
Have a great season; Super Bowl #3 is coming soon! I've been a fan for a long time and I'm convinced Ben will be the first quarterback to win five Super Bowls.
Go Steelers, Go Ben!

January 2019 - Two baby Steelers in one weekend!376 viewsYou could say that he’s the doctor to the stars…Steelers stars, that is!
Our great friend Dr. Ronald Cypher not only delivers great photos of the Roethlisberger family, but he also delivered Benjamin Jr. in 2012, Baylee in 2014 and Bodie in 2016. But he sure had his hands full earlier this month delivering two more baby Steelers in the same weekend!
Jett Arman Haden was born on January 4th, and Lyon Carter Shazier was born on January 6th!
