CHICAGO — With the Cubs trailing in the middle of the 7th of Game 3, the pep talk from Bill Murray came at the right time.
Bill and his brother Joel led the hometown crowd in an impassioned version of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.”

Most of social media was hoping a little Murray Magic would rub off on the team.
If Bill Murray singing the stretch doesn’t get the Cubs amped up, nothing will.

And it seemed to because shortly after, the Cubs tied the game, 1-1.
Many also liked the addition of his brother.
