Will Ferrell took the field for spring training on Thursday for ten different teams in Arizona's Cactus League, playing all ten positions. The feat was part of an HBO special for the website Funny or Die that will benefit cancer research.
At the end of the day, as he stood before fans in his Padres uniform, Ferrell talked about his place in baseball history despite striking out in both of his two plate appearances. Now, the numbers behind his historic career will live forever on Baseball Reference, who created a profile for him.
