And they're all Cardinals now. Weird.

These are, of course, three of my favorite baseball players. And somebody found a clip of them "acting" in a tv show. And I found the clip.

And, wow, they were/are a good infield, but they're not very good actors. Shocking, I know. They seem starstruck only there aren't any stars they get to be in this scene with (though the guy is in the not-soccer "Kicking and Screaming" and he is awesome. In that. Not this).

And, totally, I know Spezio, Eckstein, Kennedy -- would recognize them anywhere. But I'll admit these guys might not be the biggest marque names in sports. But, man, the cast here does their best to sell these three like they're Magic, Bird, and Jordan in their Dream Team jerseys. The guy looks like he's going to flip out. And the She-Spies are all coy, but they know what's up. That's Adam Kennedy. Adam Kennedy. This isn't just a normal day with the She-Spies. This is HUGE.

Think they fought over who got to say the "Who wants to be touched by an Angel?" line. Kennedy got it, I think. But Eckstein gets to pull a monkey out of his pants, so everybody's happy.

But really, if these ballplayers aren't great, I'm going to blame the writing of this show more than anything else. Anybody actually know what this show is? She-Spies? I don't know it, and I think that's saying something.

Anyway, they're all on the same team again, so maybe they'll get together for another acting gig. Here's hoping that, at the very least, local St. Louis tv viewers get to watch them advertise something or other.

And, stay tuned for the special bonus Stuart Scott footage. And local LA news personalities. Man, this show is STAR-STUDDED. But, yeah, without the stars.

This post is best when you haven't actually seen the clip yet, by the way.
