Big Slick is an annual charity event hosted by a group of celebrities from the Kansas City area. It began in 2010 with hosts Rob Riggle, Paul Rudd and Jason Sudeikis and has since grown to include fellow area natives Eric Stonestreet and David Koechner. Through various initiatives, the group of local celebrities raises money and awareness for Children’s Mercy Hospital. Each year, the hosts invite celebrities from around the country to participate in the event including a celebrity softball game held before a Royals game.
In 2015, Sporting KC defender Matt Besler participated in the softball game.
