It's the 6:05 game on whitesox.com.

 

Rumor is he'll catch for the White Sox. That should be hilarious..and hopefully only a pitch or two.

Honestly all of the clips were way funnier than I expected. That he actually tried and it all counted made it pretty amazing. Cool stuff by MLB to work out.

Anyone here ever a Strat-o-matic player? Here's Ferrell's stratomatic card:
