Tom Hanks and Sports

Tom Hanks appears alongside fellow actor and Hamilton, Ontario, native Martin Short in a low-tech but very high-energy video in which they pledge their devotion to the new Hamilton Bulldogs of the Ontario Hockey League. No stranger to a variety of sports, here is Hanks competing (in his movies, at least) and attending sporting events over the years.
