9 in 5 and Traded for a Washing Machine

As everybody knows by now, Will Ferrel decided to take a trip and make a debut in the Cactus League to raise money for cancer. He managed to play 9 positions in only 5 games. This is crazy! Will isn't the best player out there but who knows, maybe he is the next hall of famer. Will played with the following teams: Mariners, Angels, Reds, Cubs, White Sox, Dodgers, Padres, and the Giants. This was funny and at the same time was for a good cause. Not only did Will Ferrell play with all these teams, he didn't do too bad. I mean for not ever really playing baseball, he didn't do too shabby. I loved watching him play, I was laughing so hard watching it.

Atta Boy Will! Thank you Washing Post for this!

In my opinion, Will needs to be a center fielder or a pitcher. Have you guys seen his arm? While he was on the Angels, he replaced Mike Trout and even got a ball hit to him. Cleanly picked it up and kept it to a single. After this day, I don't even know the numbers that Will Ferrell will be going for. Also, pitching. It was outstanding! He is a ground ball pitcher for sure. First hitter he had a come backer and threw the guy out. Now of course Will Ferrell playing baseball was way more fun than competitive. In my opinion spring training should be like this. I know that the MLB players are trying to get ready for the season but come on, this was hilarious. He lightened up the mood. Sometimes people are too caught up in it all, not remembering sports are for fun. I personally would love to see other celebrities try and play baseball in live spring training games. Of course during regular season games this wouldn't work, but this was a great decision to let Will play.

Thanks to the Chicago Tribune for this Legendary Photo!

What a day it was in baseball history. I don't even know what is going to happen next. Not only did Will Ferrel play in the Cactus League, but he was traded for a washing machine. What kind of insanity is this?! This is definitely going to bring baseball to a whole new level. Trading for appliances may become a thing! How cool would that be? Instead of a 20 million dollar contract you get free plumbing and a fridge.  Haha that would be cool but some of the contracts now days, I don't even know if you could pay for with appliances. Baseball has been changed forever today, for the better. This is why baseball is such a cool sport, it is fun, competitive, and it is always interesting. To all those people who think that baseball is boring, when is the last time a random celebrity played in an NFL game? The MLB is such a great association and continues making baseball the best sport out there.
