Comedian Will Ferrell played for 10 Major League Baseball teams in one day, and even fielded a live ball.


Will Ferrell had a busy day on Thursday, trying to play in multiple games for multiple major league clubs in the same day to raise money for charity.

It is still spring training, so none of the games necessarily mean anything. Still, it is impressive for anyone and he will have a baseball record to himself as the only man to play every position on the field for not one, but a total of 10 different teams.

The idea came from Ferrell’s plan to honor Bert Campaneris and when he played all nine positions in a game five decades ago.

He got some help by playing for teams playing each other, allowing him to play for two teams in one game.

One of the games was the Los Angeles Dodgers game against the Chicago Cubs. He started out for the Angles in centerfield in place of Mike Trout, and actually had a live ball hit his way.

He fielded the ball and made the through rather smoothly.

He was then traded to the Cubs in the third inning and swapped out uniforms. He spent a little time as a base coach before getting up to bat.
