Sporting's Graham Zusi conducts virtual visit to Children's Mercy Hospital

One week after Sporting Kansas City midfielder Ilie Sanchez conducted a virtual visit to the main Children's Mercy campus in Kansas City, Missouri, to interact with patients at the facility, MLS All-Star defender Graham Zusi followed suit.

Zusi called in on Tuesday to chat with kids about his favorite quarantine foods, his favorite athlete—Michael Jordan, of course—and what he is currently growing in his garden. Best of all? His dog, Baci, joined in to show off some tricks.

For the last several years, Sporting players have made regular visits to Children's Mercy Hospital to interact with kids and participate in a variety of activities, ranging from board games and arts and crafts to surprise birthday parties.
