For those who watched Game 5 of the NLCS (and for those who consider yourselves true Dodger fans, your answer should be nothing other than "yes"), you experienced the delight of comedian extraordinaire Will Ferrell introducing the Dodger lineup prior to the first pitch. If you didn't get a chance to see it, here it is:
Unlike many Hollywood Johnny-come-lately types, who hop onto the Dodger or Laker bandwagon whenever they become the hot ticket in town, Ferrell—who grew up in Southern California and is a USC grad—is clearly a dyed-in-the-wool Dodger fan with a deep understanding of the team's history. Need evidence? Look no further than the name and number on the back of Ferrell's jersey.
That's right: Will Ferrell was sporting a Vic Davalillo jersey. Clearly, the man knows his Dodger history. I'm sure it's ditto for Ron Burgundy. Stay classy, Chavez Ravine!
I can't say that this beats the time when he introduced the NO Hornets and the CHI bulls games, but its still pretty good.
