3 p.m. ET: Will Ferrell has a busy day on tap.
Ferrell plans to make Major League Baseball history Thursday by playing for 10 different teams in spring training action. The actor/comedian is scheduled to appear in five different Cactus League games and play every position on the diamond throughout his crazy afternoon.
It isn’t all about the laughs, either. Ferrell, who is filming a baseball special with HBO and Funny or Die, is raising awareness and money for cancer research. The equipment used by Ferrell on Thursday will be auctioned off, with proceeds being donated to Cancer for College and Stand Up to Cancer.
Below is a glimpse of Ferrell’s itinerary. He’ll travel to each park via helicopter.
3:05 p.m.: Seattle Mariners at Oakland Athletics (HoHoKam Stadium)
4:10 p.m.: Chicago Cubs at Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (Tempe Diablo Stadium)
5:10 p.m.: Cincinnati Reds at Arizona Diamondbacks (Salt River Fields at Talking Stick)
7:05 p.m.: San Francisco Giants at Chicago White Sox (Camelback Ranch)
9:15 p.m.: Los Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres (Peoria Stadium)
