Chris Pratt may have played a baseball player in “Moneyball,” but the coolest dude in Hollywood still needs some work on his cutter.
The actor, decked out in a Cubs jersey, threw out the first pitch — which went significantly wide of the strike zone — Wednesday night at Wrigley Field before the team’s 6-2 win over the Brewers.
After the catcher couldn’t field the wild throw, the star of “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Parks and Recreation” showed a closer’s mentality and just shrugged it off.
“Of the four sports I played, as maybe you could have picked up by my first pitch today, baseball was my fourth best sport,” Pratt, 35, told television announcers Jim Deshaies and Len Kasper between innings, according to E! Online.
He later showed off his pipes by leading the Chicago crowd in a rendition of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame,” complete with pro-Cubs lyrics.
Pratt has been on a winning streak that any sports team would envy in recent months, as the MVP of the biggest movie of the summer, “Guardians of the Galaxy.”
He’s parlayed his burgeoning fame like a real life superhero, visiting patients at a Los Angeles area children’s hospital in costume as Star-Lord, his ‘Guardians” character, last month.
And Pratt also attended a Daily News and Disney co-sponsored charity screening of the film earlier this summer, in which he took a selfie with every single kid in attendance who asked for one.
“At the end of the day, I am just a guy who moved to town with no money hoping that I would be an actor,” Pratt told the News at the time. “I haven’t forgotten that.”
