Richard Gere showed up early to watch batting practice before Sunday's Rays-Yankees Spring Training game in Tampa. Though he sported a Yankees hat, the famed actor sought out Rays manager Joe Maddon for a visit. The two chatted for about 10 minutes before posing for a photo. Turns out Gere's quite a fan of baseball and Maddon's approach to managing. But could he play the manager in a movie? See for yourself:
