AceShowbiz - Leave it to Bill Murray to pump up the spirit of the Cubs when the team prepared to battle back from a 1-0 deficit against the Cleveland Indians. The 66-year-old, dressed in full Cubs regalia, led the crowd into a rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during Game 3 of the World Series on Friday, October 28.
He stepped into the booth at Wrigley Field during the seventh inning stretch. The comedian delivered a short, but fiery speech reminding fans that it was the last chance to order beer. "But we didn't come here to drink beer. We came here to win this ball game," he added.
He then instructed the fans to sing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" like "our greatest entertainer Daffy Duck." So he began to sing the song with his best Daffy impression, complete with the cartoon character's classic wet lisp.

A Chicago native, Murray has been a true fan of the Cubs. He recently proved his fandom by sharing a childhood photo of him wearing Cubbies gear. "All this six-year old wanted was a @Cubs' jacket, a hat and #WorldSeries title. Got the first two. Let's make that third wish come true, #Chicago," read the caption.
