John Cena has made a remarkable career for himself as a WWE entertainer and movie star. But baseball… well, baseball probably isn’t in his future.

The Peacemaker star made his debut for the Savannah Bananas on Sunday and struck out looking, utilizing several different batting stances in an effort to draw a walk:
