In an effort to raise money for cancer awareness, funny man Will Ferrell came to MLB Spring Training in Arizona to play in five games for 10 teams, while playing every position (and coaching third base).
2. He Accepted Baseball's Mannerisms
Ferrell quickly assimilated to baseball's culture by accepting their, um, eccentricities.
3. He Made Friends
What else would you expect from one of the funniest people on the planet? Think of all the friends he made while on 10 different clubs!
4. He Helicoptered Into the Stadiums
Were you worried how Ferrell would be able to make it to five different games with a regular mode of transportation? Worry no further! The Anchorman star got the preferential treatment to fly in on a helicopter to every game.
5. He Took Some Big Cuts
In two official at bats, Ferrell went o-for-2 with two strikeouts, but he took some big hacks at the plate.
6. He Took Too Big of Swings
He did make contact. Maybe too much contact.
7. He Fired Up His Teammates
Baseball isn't a sport known for its motivational speeches, but don't tell Ferrell that as he tries to inspire his Cubs teammate.
8. He Coached Third Base
Playing every single position AND third base coach? All in a days work.
9. He's a Very Complimentary Coach
Kill them with kindness, Will.
10. He Cares About Player Safety
Remember even if you aren't an athlete, get your eight hours of sleep, people!
11. He's Got Great Form
In his day in the field, Ferrell fielded the ball five times. Clearly he's played before, look at that form.
12. He's a Dodgers Ace
Clayton Kershaw who?!
13. He Actually Did Some Coaching
Hopefully the other team didn't steal his sign.
14. He Played Catcher for the World Series Champs
Move over three-time World Series champion Buster Posey, there's a new catcher for the San Francisco Giants.
15. Hats Off to You
Will Ferrell's day came to an end going hitless, but it was not a disappointment for raising awareness and money for the fight against cancer.
