Clooney seemed thrilled to be in attendance as he was snapped knocking the ball out the park with the bat and later showing off his skills as a pitcher. 

While movie fans stopped pitch side to watch, the 64-year-old proved age is just a number as he sprinted from base to base in the sunshine.

The Gravity actor donned a grey and red kit for his day on the sports field along with a pair of white trainers, a coordinated cap and some sunglᴀsses. 

After dyeing his hair brown ready for his Broadway debut, George’s afternoon in Central Park revealed he’s returned to his former grey-haired look. 

During an appearance on Seth Meyers’s late night show a couple of days ago, the actor revealed his wife Amal Clooney, 47, described his new-found dyed hair as ‘funny’.

‘She’ll be glad when it’s gone,’ he told the host. 

‘The last show is Sunday, we do a matinee, and by the time we go to the Tony’s that night, it’ll be gone.’

‘I may have a shaved head, I may look like Yul Brynner,’ though Meyers said that might be good luck, since Brynner won Best Featured Actor in a Musical in 1952 for The King And I.

Sporting some grey headwear for the appearance, Clooney added: ‘I’m wearing a hat to hide my bad hair. It’s bad. It’s still dark on top, but it’s grey on the bottom.’

‘It looks great on stage,’ Meyers replied, ‘but off stage it looks like you’re trying to get away with something.’

George joked: ‘It’s horrible. It looks like I’m going through some sort of midlife crisis. I’m 64, midlife is a little stretch.’

Good Night, and Good Luck, which the actor wrote alongside his creative partner Grant Heslov, is based on the 2005 film which Clooney also starred in.  

The play opened to strong reviews and earned five Tony Award nominations, including one for Best Actor for Clooney, who is facing a lawsuit over his Casamigos tequila brand.

It has also been just as much a commercial hit as it’s been a critical smash, becoming the first Broadway play in history to gross $4 million in one week.

Speaking to Meyers, George also revealed that since he’s joined the Broadway softball league with the team of Good Night, and Good Luck he’s yet to win a game. 

George and his teammates even suffered defeat to none other than the cast of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, a team consisting of mostly children.

‘I’m batting .500 right now. But you listen, I have to be honest. We have a softball team, the Good Night, and Good Luck softball team. And we are 0-3,’ he said.

‘We have not won. We’ve been rained out the last three weeks,’ Clooney added, as Meyers joked: ‘So, you started 0-3 and then, the weather got on your side.’ 

The Oscar-winning actor and director added: ‘And our last very close loss was to Harry Potter. Yeah, we lost to, you know, children.’

He joked: ‘I’d like to think they were using some sort of magic,’ as Meyers joked that he can, ‘protest any loss to the Potter kids.’

Clooney will next be seen on the big screen in Jay Kelly, from writer–director Noah Baumbach, alongside Adam Sandler and Laura Dern, in theaters November 14.
