Angels put on hilarious defensive shift for Will Ferrell

Actor and general funnyman Will Ferrell decided to pull a great stunt on Thursday.

Working with HBO and MLB for the “Stand up to Cancer” charity, Ferrell arranged to spend the day going around to 10 different teams at spring training in Arizona so that he could play all nine positions in one day.

One of the best moments from Ferrell’s tour came when he took an at-bat for the Cubs against the Angels. As you can see, the Halos showed him little respect:

It didn’t even matter as Ferrell struck out in the at-bat. Maybe the shift got in his head.

Maybe he should just stick to being a third base coach, because he’s pretty awesome doing that:

You’re still my boy, Will!
