Telling everyone ''I'm a five-tool guy,'' Will Ferrell was off on his barnstorming tour Thursday through five Arizona spring training games. Wearing No. 19 for every team, the star of ''Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy,'' ''Elf'' and many other movies started in an Oakland Athletics uniform in the early afternoon, then was off to four other ballparks, with the aim of playing for each team, and at each position along the way. He hugged a guy in an elf suit as he left Mesa, held up a sign saying ''Remember These Games Don't Count' as impromptu third base coach for the Chicago Cubs, made a surprising, and very unsuccessful, pinch-hit appearance and chased the ball around the outfield during a challenging stint in left field for the Arizona Diamondbacks. From there, he rode by helicopter across north Phoenix to Glendale, making a triumphant landing in center field at the Camelback Ranch ballpark where the San Francisco Giants were meeting the Chicago White Sox.
