There's no reason to watch this...


This was clearly only a show for the people in attendance at the actual games.

Ironically, it's best selling point is also it's biggest drawback... it was all done in one single day.

10 teams, 10 positions in 1 day sounds great on paper, but in a 50 minute film this is/was a recipe for disaster. Ferrell plays such a limited amount of time for each team that there's hardly any footage to show of him; most of the time we're getting a talking head of him in a studio.

Obviously the best moments would be him batting and pitching, but even those times are just as short as him playing left, center and right field.

All in all this would have been a cool experience in person, but in the final film it all just feels so forced and pointless.
