Don’t be fooled, ‘Rojo’ Johnson is part of a comedy routine

A few days ago, we brought you the video of “Rojo” Johnson, the signee from Venezuela who pitched for the Round Rock Express against Nashville. As a public service, I linked to that video from this blog thinking he could be a guy the Mariners might use.

Well, crack an egg on my face.

Turns out “Rojo” is Will Ferrell, who I’m told is a comedian and was pulling off some sort of publicity appearance. I will say, he looks exactly like my favorite NASCAR driver, Ricky Bobby.

Anyway, here’s a news clip from Ferrell’s appearance and his postgame comments.

Enjoy.
