“Hey , batter!” | |
Such was the timeless chant uttered by and in the classic ’80s | |
slacker film “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” and this weekend, the | |
pair was on hand to make things extra nostalgic for those in attendance | |
at a recent minor league baseball game. | |
Broderick and Ruck were seen at Nat Bailey Stadium in Vancouver, Canada | |
on Sunday, where they sang “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” for the | |
famed seventh inning stretch during the game between the Vancouver | |
Canadians and the AquaSox. | |
In the 1986 John Hughes film, Broderick portrayed Ferris Bueller, a | |
happy-go-lucky high schooler who decides to take the day off, and | |
magically has everything go his way. Ruck plays his best friend | |
Cameron, whose luck isn’t exactly as hardy. | |
In the movie, the pair attend a baseball game with Ferris’ girlfriend | |
Sloane (Mia Sara) while evading their high school principal (Jeffrey | |
Jones), at Chicago’s Wrigley Field. | |
As luck would have it, Ruck and Broderick are soon to reunite on screen | |
in a new film called “The Best is Yet to Come,” according to IMDb. | |
On Sunday, the AquaSox beat the Canadians 3-2 in extra innings. | |
