Will Ferrell loves his sport

Talladega Night and Blades of Glory are some of the finest sports films ever committed to celluloid, or whatever they use these days.

And now the star of those films, Will Ferrell, has turned his beanpole talents to baseball for a new HBO documentary called ‘Ferrell Takes the Field’.

The comedian embarked on a crazy tour of 10 different Major League Baseball teams in a single day in Arizona last March and it was all for charity.

The film is to raise money for several cancer-fighting charities and if the trailer is anything to go by it should be a home-run at the box-office.

One of the films stand out quotes gives you an idea of what to expect

“I brought passion to the field, dedication, ability and a lot of ignorance”
