You thought A-Rod’s return to the Yankees this spring was a big story?
Sorry Alex, you’ve got nothing on Will Ferrell.
The actor is playing in five games for 10 different teams in the Cactus League Thursday to benefit Cancer for College, an organization that has been providing college scholarships to cancer survivors since 1994.
Ferrell’s desert tour started in Mesa when he manned the shortstop position for the Oakland A’s.
Success! What a half inning in the field by Will! High fives in the A's dugout. #FerrellTakesTheField pic.twitter.com/11ksOrlsoB

Then, he moved over to second base for the Mariners.

Next stop: Tempe for the Cubs-Angels and a frame in center for Halos.
We see Blue. He looks glorious. #FerrellTakesTheField pic.twitter.com/0ros1TBZL2

In fact, the funny man showed some game while wearing the Los Angeles jersey.
You don't want to test out that arm! Will Ferrell fires the ball into 2nd base to hold Welington Castillo to a single. 🔥🔥🔥

Then, an inning of coaching third base for the Cubbies.
Hey @MLB,
Can Will Ferrell play every Spring Training game this year? #FerrellTakesTheField pic.twitter.com/BvvYLJmjx2

Basically the best third-base coach ever: http://t.co/GV7Qp2sG6B #FerrellTakesTheField pic.twitter.com/mJ7puTHXz0

After that, the actor got his first at-bat of the day. Angels right-hander Ryan Mattheus blew him away on three pitches — but hey, at least Will the Thrill took his hacks!
