Cute Dad Tom Hanks did some Cute Dad Comedy at tonight's Cleveland Guardians game

Specifically, Hanks was on the mound tonight courtesy of the newly re-named Cleveland Guardians, who Hanks had previously lent a little bit of his seemingly boundless popularity to by narrating the video where the team announced its new name. Around the same time, Hanks apparently agreed to throw out a ceremonial first pitch for his “adopted hometown team,” celebrating his famous love of the sport.

And dad-joke schtick, apparently! We don’t know whether it was Hanks’ idea, specifically, to have this particular version of Wilson the volleyball apparently be fitted with a remote control that allowed him to frequently roll away from the actor, but we do concede that watching Hanks run after the ball was…well, not funny, exactly, but definitely Dad-Funny.

After throwing the pitch (reasonably well, by 65-year-old actor standards), Hanks also joined Guardians announcers Matt Underwood and Rick Manning in the announcers’ booth. Would it shock you to learn that Hanks is both charming, and a little goofy, as a baseball announcer? Slightly corny, smooth as butter, and genuinely exclaiming, “Oh, doctor!” at the first home run of the evening: It’s pretty much all you could want from a Tom Hanks Cute Dad Moment.
