Kersey—Getty Images by [Dan Gartland / Sports Illustrated](https://time.com/author/sports-illustrated/) ## Dan Gartland / Sports Illustrated Mar 11, 2015 8:59 PM UTC Will Ferrell is doing something crazy. Imagine that. According to [_USA Today_‘s Bob Nightengale](https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/575407836076728320), Ferrell is planning to play all nine positions on a baseball field Thursday in Arizona. Or, rather, on several baseball fields. Ferrell will have a helicopter take him to each of the eight Cactus League ballparks hosting games that day, and all for a good cause. Ferrell’s stunt is part of a cancer awareness event that will be filmed by HBO, [according to the ](http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/whitesox/chi-will-ferrell-white-sox-20150310-story.html)[_Chicago Tribune_](http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/whitesox/chi-will-ferrell-white-sox-20150310-story.html)_._ > [](https://twitter.com/ctrent/status/575728807836971008) The first game of the day is between the A’s and Mariners at noon local time. The Dodgers-Padres game is the last and starts at 6:15. This, of course, will not be Ferrell’s first professional baseball appearance. He showed up at a Round Rock Express game as a middle reliever named Billy Ray “Rojo” Johnson in 2010 as part of another cancer event. If the 47-year-old utility man is looking for a major-league deal, he’ll get to show off his stuff for plenty of teams. _This_ [_article_](http://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2015/03/11/will-ferrell-baseball-cactus-league) _originally appeared on_ [_SI.com_](http://www.si.com)_._ _Read next:_ [_Watch Will Ferrell Lip Synch Beyoncé for an Inspired_ ](http://time.com/3691946/will-ferrell-jimmy-fallon-kevin-hart-super-bowl/?iid=time%5Freadnext)[Drunk in Love](http://time.com/3691946/will-ferrell-jimmy-fallon-kevin-hart-super-bowl/?iid=time%5Freadnext) [_Listen to the most important stories of the day._](http://time.com/newsletter/the-brief/?sl%5Fautoplay=true&xid=spl-fullbrief-article) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3741361/will-ferrell-8-baseball-games/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3741361/will-ferrell-8-baseball-games/"},"headline":"Will Ferrell Will Play All 9 Positions in 8 Different Baseball Games","datePublished":"2015-03-11T20:59:35.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T05:05:42.877Z","description":"The funnyman will play every position in baseball all in one day, for charity","url":"https://time.com/3741361/will-ferrell-8-baseball-games/","keywords":["Baseball","celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc15dc3cd91feb3dd/6987833735ba6fcfb6c07833/148777455-copy.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Dan Gartland / Sports Illustrated"}],"articleSection":"Sports","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc15dc3cd91feb3dd/6987833735ba6fcfb6c07833/148777455-copy.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Will Ferrell throws out a ceremonial first pitch before the game between the Miami Marlins and the Chicago Cubs in Chicago on July 18, 2012.","caption":"Will Ferrell throws out a ceremonial first pitch before the game between the Miami Marlins and the Chicago Cubs in Chicago on July 18, 2012.","creditText":"Brian D.
