If you were to attend the AAA minor-league baseball game between the Red Rock Express and the Memphis Redbirds on Thursday night, you got a treat by the seeing the first ever appearance of "Rojo Johnson" AKA actor Will Ferrell.
Ferrell was in Texas to raise money for his celebrity golf tournament that sponsors the non-profit, "Cancer for College" which helps pay for cancer survivors to attend college.
So, Ferrell decided to do something that only Will Ferrell would do. He came into pitch for the Red Rock Express as Billy Ray "Rojo" Johnson whose back-story had something to do with illegal lizard transactions in Mexico.
"Rojo" Johnson was ejected after the first pitch and the batter decided to go after Rojo. After chasing each other around for a bit, Rojo decided to pull off his Nolan Ryan impression and beat up on the batter and eventually left the field after being chased off.
In my opinion, still not better than "Love Me Sexy" but still pretty funny. We have both the news report/post-game interview and the live-action video of Will Ferrell's appearance as "Rojo" Johnson.
