Viral Video of the Day: Bryan Cranston's One-Man MLB Show
The 'Breaking Bad' star puts the team on his back
It may be hard to believe in the wake of recent news cycles, but there actually are professional sports leagues in America besides the NFL. Take Major League Baseball, for example; it's a proud association, devoid of scandal—except for that whole steroid thing, of course—and entering its postseason as summer comes to a close.
To get us all pumped to sit quietly for four hours at a time, TBS—which will air the American League playoffs—has partnered with Emmy and Tony-winning actor Bryan Cranston to produce a unique tribute to the national pastime. Cranston’s acting chops have never been questioned, but they’re put to the test here as he puts on a one-man show recreating the MLB postseason.
Complete with heartfelt monologues, spot-on impressions of baseball commentary, and ballet lessons from Misty Copeland (?), Cranston’s work is full of laughs and reminders of why we love the original American game.
