Baseball has been called a humbling game.

But on Wednesday after some feeble swings during batting practice and a less-than-average first pitch for the Phillies, baseball taught actor Bruce Willis not to quit his day job.

Willis, who was raised in southern New Jersey, said he “grew up with the Phillies.”
