Will Ferrell will do his best impression of a super-utility player on Thursday when he takes the field for 10 teams in five spring training games.

The actor will travel by helicopter to play every position for a Funny or Die special, in partnership with HBO, to benefit cancer research. Proceeds from auctioning Ferrell's equipment will go to Cancer for College and Stand Up to Cancer.
