10PM on HBO.
Will Ferrell’s HBO comedy sports special wherein he played 10 different positions on one day of the MLB’s Cactus League premieres tonight.
In case you were wondering, here’s what Will was thinking in the middle of his 10 team/position stretch.
Again, it’s on at 10PM on HBO tonight.
Welcome to the @BaseballHall (sort of), Will Ferrell. #FerrellTakesTheField

Though he’s only played in the Cactus League once, the ten different positions that Will Ferrell took on for his upcoming HBO comedy sports special Ferrell Takes the Field scored him a bronze plaque from the MLB Hall of Fame.
It’s unclear whether the plaque will be on display at Cooperstown, NY in the actual Baseball Hall of Fame, but it’s probably very likely that his achievement will never be matched again, especially by someone who wasn’t a pro athlete to begin with.
Think you know everything there is to know about pitching in baseball? Will Ferrell might just prove that he “knows” a little more, if not a lot more in his upcoming HBO comedy sports special Ferrell Takes the Field, premiering on Sept. 12th at 10PM.
Just watch Will break down every single pitch that he apparently takes to the mound.
The full trailer for Ferrell Takes The Field shows Will Ferrell grace the diamond in all 10 different uniforms while delivering a Ferrell-style speech at a real MLB spring training game rather than in a sports movie. You’ll notice, as Letterman noted earlier this year, Will does look pretty slick in a MLB uniform.
Watch the trailer here, then look for the premiere on Sept. 12th at 10PM on HBO.
This weekend, they had 7 Days in Hell with Andy Samberg and Kit Harrington and in a couple months, they’ll have their very next comedy sports special, Ferrell Takes the Field.
Earlier this year, Will Ferrell played 10 positions on 10 different teams over the course of one day of MLB Spring Training and from the looks of this teaser, it has all the promise of a 47 year old Ferrell mixing it up in the big leagues.
Look for Ferrell Takes the Field’s premiere on Sept. 12th at 10PM on HBO.

While you’re looking forward to perhaps getting a Will Ferrell baseball card, you can also look forward to an entire special of Will Ferrell playing as many positions on as many MLB teams as he can during MLB Spring Training.
“Ferrell Takes The Field” will premiere on HBO Sat. Sept. 12th at 10PM and will be the second in line of comedy sports specials at the premium cable network.
If 7 Days in Hell goes well in July and Ferrell Takes The Field does the same in September, maybe HBO will do a parody of all those boxing docu-series that they do?
