Like many other fields, Major League Baseball has its fans in the entertainment industry as well. Every celebrity has their own favorite team, and such is the case with two-time Oscar nominee star Mark Wahlberg. In one of his most famous movies, The Other Guys, Wahlberg has worked with one of the best shortstops of MLB, Captain Clutch Derek Jeter. Aside from this, he is also good friends with Jeter’s frenemy Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez. But Wahlberg, being friends with Jeter and A-Rod, is not a fan of the New York Yankees but the Boston Red Sox, the sworn enemy of the Yanks. It seems like the actor has friends in many MLB teams, despite being a fan of a different team. 

Now, most recently, Wahlberg met up with another one of his friends from the baseball world for his friend’s new venture. That friend is none other than the two times world champion, Alex Bregman of the Houston Astros.

What is Wahlberg up to these days?

A few months ago, the Father Stu actor made a huge decision to move his family up from Hollywood to Nevada. He had done so to have a chance to enjoy life. With the aim of giving his wife and four kids to have a chance at a better and happy life, the actor had put his Beverly Hills mansion on the market.

Also, with a net worth of over $400 million, the move to Nevada was not tough. But at the same time, it wasn’t easy either. And no matter the actor resides now, his love for baseball has remained the same.
