Chris Pratt throws first pitch at Cubs game, sings 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame' (Video)

Chris Pratt has established himself as an action hero with Guardians of the Galaxy, but that doesn’t mean he’s leaving that loveable personality he has developed during his time on Parks & Recreation. The actor’s charm was on full display at Wrigley Field Wednesday when he threw out the first pitch.

The pitch started off well enough, but the ball curved right and the Cubs player had to jump over to get the ball as it rolled past home plate. At least it was better than some other first pitches.

“Of the four sports I played, as maybe you could have picked up by my first pitch today, baseball was my fourth best sport,” Pratt joked with the Cubs announcers, notes E! News. But announcer Jim Deshaies reminded Pratt that he starred in 2011’s Moneyball and played an Athletics player in the film. “Luckily, he was a guy who had an arm injury and didn't have to throw the ball that often,” the actor joked.

Later, Pratt sang the standard “Take Me Out To The Ballgame” with the crowd and did a very good job at it.

Pratt also wore a “Groot” hat instead of a standard Cubs cap, since that’s not only the name of Vin Diesel’s character in Guardians, but it’s also the name of a Chicago waste management company.

Pratt stayed in Chicago yesterday, attending country music legend Garth Brooks’ show with his wife, Anna Faris.

I'm at Garth Brooks right now. One of the greatest moments in my life. #GodBlessGarthBrooks

Pratt played Star-Lord in Guardians, which is currently the top-grossing movie of 2014. He will also be playing Andy again for the last season of NBC’s Parks & Rec, which will air during midseason.

Here’s the first pitch:
