Ten Will Ferrell baseball cards will be released by Topps and are coming out June 10th.


Finally.

For those thinking, “yeah, it’s cool that Will Ferrell played for ten teams in spring training, but where are the baseball cards?” Topps has you covered. The baseball card manufacturer has announced that ten cards, featuring the comedy actor on ten teams, will be released June 10.

Ferrell, the actor best known for roles in movies like Anchorman, Elf, and Talladega Nights, played for ten MLB teams in one day during spring training, playing all nine positions and getting two plate appearances.

The ten cards will have all his spring training stats on the back, and will each be autographed. Ferrell played for the Diamondbacks, Padres, Mariners, White Sox, Dodgers, A’s, Giants, Reds, Cubs, and Angels.

Here is a look at some of the cards (only three of which have been revealed so far):

Any of these cards will immediately become the crown jewel of any collection.

Ferrell’s MLB stunt wasn’t just for fun (although it was probably so that); the actor raised more than $1 million for charity doing so.

It also looks like it was a lot of fun. Here are some videos of a couple of Ferrell’s highlights from the spring training circuit, including landing from a helicopter in full uniform, and a hilarious stint as the Cubs’ thrid base coach.
