George Clooney may be hitting it out the park with his Broadway play titled Good Night, and Good Luck – but fans have ridiculed him for his recent baseball attire.
The 63-year-old was snapped playing in the Broadway Softball League in Central Park, New York, over the weekend, alongside the cast and crew of his Broadway production.
In pictures posted on social media, the Oscar-winning actor wore a navy blue polo shirt and shorts, also donning knee braces, white Adidas shoes and sport socks.
He stayed sun smart by wearing sunglasses and a white cap before taking to the pitch holding a catcher’s mitt.
While Clooney struck an impressive figure on the field, the actor was immediately ridiculed on social media for wearing a polo shirt – rather than a crew neck – and watch.
‘Who wears a collared shirt to play softball? Seriously?!’ one user said incredulously.
‘A polo and a watch?’ criticized someone else.
Another user declared: ‘Nobody should be shocked that this snowflake showed up to play ball in a polo.’

Good Night, and Good Luck is based on his 2005 film of the same name which he previously wrote, directed and starred in.
In his 2005 film, David Strathairn played the lead role, while Clooney took a supporting role as CBS President Fred Friendly, in addition to working behind the camera.
The movie, which was shot in black-and-white, focused on Murrow’s reports on Senator Joseph McCarthy’s unfounded claims of communist infiltration in the US government.
Clooney recently received heavy backlash after dying his famous salt and pepper locks dark brown back in March for his role as legendary newsman Edward R. Murrow in his Broadway show.
However, he jokingly acknowledged botched job, admitting: ‘I know it’s not good’ as he sat down for a chat with Gayle King in April.
Fans shared their disapproval of his new darker hair and orange fake tan, with some admitting it makes him look ’20 years older.’
Others joked he has put a ‘full blown black sharpie on his hair’ as they begged for him to wash out the hair dye.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one wrote: ‘Weird seeing George Clooney once had non-grey hair.

‘I figured he popped out of the womb a silver fox!’
‘What in the Sam Hell is that awful dye job on George Clooney? He looks pathetic,’ slammed another.
‘I know it’s not good!’ Clooney exclaimed during an interview on CBS Mornings, adding he still is not used to the new look himself.
King shot back: ‘Oh, It’s not good! I’m not used to it, you never get used to it.
‘Listen, I started getting grey when I was 25 so I’ve been grey most of my life so it’s not my favorite look.
‘And my wife, she thinks it’s funny. Well, [his children] laugh at [his hair] because honestly nothing makes you look older than being 63 and dying your hair,’ he laughed.
