The cast of Happy Days playing softball at Wrigley Field, 1979
Here’s the story from Wrigley Field: The Unauthorized Biography…
The ABC-TV series Happy Days was staggeringly popular in the 1970s and even the event-phobic Cubs got on board. On August 17, 1979, a team of actors and producers from the show came to Wrigley field to take on a contingent of Chicago media figures in a pregame softball contest.…
In a seven-inning contest, the Happy Days team (featuring Henry Winkler, Ron Howard, Anson Williams, Tom Bosley, Marion Ross, Donny Most, Erin Moran, Scott Baio, and Garry Marshall) and the Chicago media club (managed by Lou Boudreau) tied 4-4.

Surprisingly, the uncoolest looking guy out there is the Fonz.
No kidding. I have a better batting stance than he does. Right now, I mean. Right now while I’m slouched on the couch with a computer in my lap. Yikes.
i’ll bet that his first at-bat he went and stood on the plate because he didn’t know where to stand
I can’t see Henry Winkler the same anymore after having watched Arrested Development.
Ralph Malph is checking out Mrs. C’s ass. He’s staying in character, apparently.
