Chances are about 70% of our updates for the next week and a half are going to involve Kate Upton in a baseball cap, so here’s another one, but at least this one has a moral. Watch with differing levels of delight as Chris Pratt from Parks and Recreation fails to properly operate a camera while interviewing celebrity softballers Upton and Erin Andrews about their roles in the week’s festivities (note: based on this and other videos, their role was to laugh affably while people pressured them to get naked). Andrews and Upton show off the respective Red Sox and Yankees patches on their jerseys because those are the only two teams that exist, prompting Kate to ask Pratt what’s on his.
Now, if Kate Upton asked me what was on anything of mine I would faint like a fat Victorian lady, but I’m not Andy Dwyer (or Scott Hatteberg). Pratt tries to play it off with a joke, but the women are wondering what the hell he’s doing sporting nautical iconography on his jersey, so he explains it with the kind of honest sports answer that makes jerks like me a fan of his for life.
I’m a Mariners fan from Seattle, so that’s why I came here. My wife and I are both from Seattle, and we love the Mariners.
Awesome. I like to think Kate Upton had a Cosmo Canyon planetarium moment and is going to spend the next two weeks googling “Mariners” and laughing at the moose.
Of course, Wikipedia tells me Pratt was born in Minnesota (and his wife, actress Anna Faris, is from Baltimore), but I won’t hold that against them. Where you’re from is where you feel like you’re from, and even though I only spent four years living in Ohio I refer to myself as being “from Cleveland”. Besides, I would feel terrible if I found out one of my favorite TV characters liked the Twins.


Commenting solely because of the amazing Cosmo Canyon reference.
If you could boneErin and Kate at the same time, but only after you gave Chris Pratt a hummer, would you do it?
My answer is yes.
@realryanwalsh – Oh absolutely. I’d do that for just Kate Upton. I’d probably do that just to MEET Kate Upton.
you only lived in Ohio for four years and you PREFER to claim Cleveland?
Did you move to Compton and decided to pick the lesser of two evils?
@poonTASTIC – I liked Cleveland a lot, what can I say. I spent most of my life growing up in rural backwater towns with nothing to do.
He’s married to Anna Faris? Well that explains why he wasn’t stammering and sweating bullets in front of Upton and Andrews (which sounds like a fantastic buddy cop movie, now that I type it).
“Besides, I would feel terrible if I found out one of my favorite TV characters liked the Twins.”
I’m sure you were big fans of Brandon and Kelly Walsh from 90210, Brandon.
Chris Pratt as an M’s fan is the best news I’ve heard all day. . . its been a boring day.
Is that the Marriage Ref, Tom Papa behind them, because I’m pretty sure my wife would have a problem with what I’m doing right now.
