Will Ferrell played in five MLB Spring Training games this year. What have you done with your life?
The comedian -- attempting to honor Bert “Campy” Campaneris while also promoting cancer awareness -- played every position for 10 different teams in the same day during Spring training. The HBO special documenting the events, in partnership with Major League Baseball, is scheduled to debut at 10 p.m. ET exclusively on HBO.
A free live stream of the special can be found here (requires free trial registration).
During his journey, Ferrell played first base for the Cubs, second base for the Mariners, shortstop for the A’s, left field for the Diamondbacks, center field for the Angels, right field for the Padres, catcher for the Giants, pitcher for the Dodgers and designated hitter for the White Sox.
Ferrell also famously claimed to have 63 pitches in his arsenal.
“I throw a catfish. I throw a traditional knuckleball. I throw a European knuckleball,” Ferrell says in the mockumentary. “I throw a pitch called 'The Black Healer.' One called 'The Ruby,' 'The Opal' ... I have a lot of rare or semi-precious gemstones. 'Aquamarine,' 'Topaz,' 'Turquoise' ... And then I also have certain pitches that I'll only pitch in the spring, or for fall.
“I have pitches that I only throw in certain months. I think there's only seven pitches I'll throw in June, for instance. August? I'll go through all 63."
