LOS ANGELES — Big names from music, movies, sports and television staged an entertaining showdown in the All-Star Celebrity Softball Game on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium, though not everyone walked away unscathed.
“Breaking Bad” actor Bryan Cranston was struck in the right shoulder by a line drive off the bat of Grammy Award winner Anthony Ramos as they took batting practice in side-by-side makeshift cages outside the ballpark Saturday night.
The 66-year-old Cranston doubled over for a couple of minutes, then headed to his nearby trailer.
“It’s definitely going to bruise,” Cranston said after recovering. “I might be more of a cheerleader in this game.”
The Tony, Emmy and Olivier award-winner later felt well enough to play on the field. He took a called third strike and feigned an argument with the umpire.
Cranston played for the Los Angeles team, which lost to Brooklyn, 15-13. Former San Francisco Giants star Hunter Pence hit two home runs for Brooklyn and was repeatedly booed by the L.A. crowd.
