John McCarthy hasn’t seen the field in an MLS game in a few weeks, but that doesn’t mean the Philadelphia Union goalkeeper has stopped looking good off of it.


The Philly native visited Cameron McCarthy – no relation – at a Delaware hospital on Monday, with the seven-year-old Ewing Sarcoma patient giving the Union backstop quite the buzz cut.


Nice job, Cameron – that’s some serious style.
