The other day I found a YouTube video of Will Ferrell’s Apple Switch IPod commercial. It must be somewhat new, but I haven’t seen it on TV. Anyways, I thought it was funny, but in his lines, either scripted or ad-libbed knowing Will, he mentions that he “sells them at Dodger games, kinda like how they sell hot dogs.” I had to watch it again and again, each time a little bit more tickled that he would mention anything about selling anything at Dodger games.

The reason for this is because countless people have said “The Perfect Pitch” should be adapted into a movie. It has everything a movie should have, comedy, love, history, action, drama, miracles, success, rags to riches, tragedy, obstacles to overcome, family, love of dogs, and addresses such issues as foster home abuse, mental health, poverty, and throw in a cool soundtrack including Jack Owens’ crooner 30’s and 40’s period music, and you have a movie I’d be more than happy to pay $10 for, or whatever the ridiculous movie ticket prices are these days.

So have a look at the IPod commercial, and then have a look at these photos of Roger from the 1970’s (photo 1, photo 2, photo 3, photo 4)when his career really took off, and then compare them to this promotional poster photo from Will’s latest movie, Talladega Nights, The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.

The resemblance is about as uncanny as a double-bag toss from Roger to two different Dodger fans from 20 seats away.
