Will Ferrell knows a thing or two about making people laugh. But that’s not the only thing he can do.

The comedian also proved he can take the field with major leaguers this past spring training when he played 10 different positions for 10 Cactus League teams in an effort to raise awareness for Stand Up to Cancer and Cancer for College.

Fortunately for you, his entire experience was turned into an HBO documentary called “Ferrell Takes the Field.”

Ferrell’s spring training stint garnered plenty of attention and even earned him a page on Baseball Reference, which proudly displays his 0.00 ERA after he recorded an out as a pitcher for the Dodgers against the only batter he faced.

The film airs Saturday, Sept. 12 at 10 p.m. ET.
