Drake is hosting a celebrity softball game in Houston on Friday, as part of Houston Appreciation Weekend. He is also playing in the game! He stepped up to bat and grounded out, because he’s probably confused there’s no frontrunning sports team to root for in this game.

Hang on a sec. He tried to Alex Rodriguez that bad boy! If you don’t know what I’m talking about, SHAME ON YOU. If you do know what I’m talking about, here, enjoy this all over again:

Drake emulating Alex Rodriguez. It’s just too perfect.
