This video was uploaded from an Android phone.
Will Ferrell made his expected minor league appearance with the Round Rock Express in Texas on Thursday night. Summoned from the bullpen at the start of the sixth inning, Ferrell took the field as Billy Ray "Rojo" Johnson, a former Venezuelan pitching phenom who had just been released from jail for smuggling rare reptiles into the United States. His relief effort lasted just one brushback, but the whole bit featured a few more laughs than I expected. (I've embedded Ferrell's whole appearance below and it closes with a pretty accurate reenactment of the Nolan Ryan-Robin Ventura headlock.) If you're wondering why Ferrell was hanging around the Triple-A affiliate of the Houston Astros, there are a couple of answers. One, he's in town raising money for his Cancer for College golf tournament. Two, the Astros might actually need Ferrell's arm this year.
These are the cards I need to finish off the set. I'll update the list as often as I can.

After taking the first of the best of five series the might OL'Skool lost games two & three in massive blowouts. But after much soul searching we all dug deep and found a way to band together take game four and leave everything else to the greatest of human dramas. In the last inning bases loaded tie ball game, What happened is what dreams are made of. Kings to you my brother!
