It’s certainly not news that Ben Affleck is a huge Boston Red Sox fan, he’s been spotted at Fenway Park with wife Jennifer Garner plenty of times before. But never before has Ben made a play on the field, well, almost.

Ben and Jen were seated in the first row along the first base side on Sunday for a game against the Los Angeles Angels, broadcast on ESPN. In the bottom of the second inning, a pop fly came in their direction and when Angels first baseman Howie Kendrick came over to make a play, but almost had the ball stolen away from him by a fan. That fan? Ben Affleck, who wasn’t too happy that he didn’t make the catch. Jen tries to console him, but he just sulks.

Kendrick was able to make the play and the Angels went on to win 10-4.

So not only did Affleck’s beloved Sox lose, but he lost out on a souvenir too.

Hollywood Grind has learned Ben Affleck (33), and Jennifer Garner (34) have plans to raise 8-month-old Violet in his hometown. “They realize it’s important to be as ‘un-Hollywood’ as they can,” says a pal. Plus, they’ll save money on a sitter: His mom, Chris, lives in the area.

Nick Lachey

Axe has done 2 commercials of note lately that they paid a reported $2 million dollars each for, but they may never be shown in the United States. These are International ads, just not for U.S. consumption. Yet, one features scrumptious Nick Lachey, and the other Ben Affleck. We really didn’t want anyone to miss out, so we have them both here for your viewing pleasure.

Ben Affleck

Ben Affleck is top of the list to play 80s detective Magnum PI in a big screen version of the cult TV show.

One of the producers of the original series, Charles Floyd Johnson, believes the Daredevil star would be perfect as the Hawaiian maverick justice seeker.

Johnson hints Affleck would be his first choice to play the Ferrari-driving investigator after original Magnum Tom Selleck held out too long over the role.

Johnson: “I think it will be wonderful. Unfortunately it won’t star Tom.”

Johnson continued: “He was asked to do six or eight TV movies and at that time he really wanted to do it as a feature, so he held out on it and probably now they will consider him too old to do it.”

Johnson named Brian Grazer, who produced The Da Vinci Code, as the man behind the movie adaptation.

Hmmm, I don’t know, it sounds like this movie will suck, even though I liked Tom Selleck, and the original Magnum PI. What do you think? Can anyone think of any good movies Affleck has made lately?
