YouTube is incredible. I found this video today, from the 1990 MTV Rock N’ Jock softball game. It features Bud Bundy, for one thing, plus Keanu Reeves back when he was just “Keanu Reeves, from Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure.”
We don’t see it, but we’re told that Tone Loc picks off Reeves at first base. But earlier in the video, we see Tone Loc playing catcher, so I can only assume that Tone Loc picked off Keanu Reeves by throwing behind the runner at first, a very aggressive move for any backstop, no less one playing in a celebrity softball game.
So good for Tone Loc for further confirming his own awesomeness. I’m sure manager Sammy Hagar was proud.
The highlight of the clip comes when Darryl Strawberry rips an inside-the-park home run past a diving Reeves, who took a downright terrible route to the ball.
How about the mullet on Kevin Costner as he rounding third on Straw HR.
Ted, notice that the whole time while running and the slide to home plate, Straw has the shades on.
