LOS ANGELES (AP)– The Chicago Cubs are trying to do something that hasn’t happened in the lifetime of anyone born in the last 108 years: Win a World Series.

So naturally, the chance to be part of that history has prompted people who live in Chicago, once lived in Chicago or just rooted for the Cubs from miles away to descend on Wrigley Field or tune in on television. 

If you didn’t know Chicago was once home to scores of celebrities, you do after tuning into the game.

Broadcasts have shown actor Bill Murray, delirious with joy, in the middle of a throng of fans that included John Cusack, an actor who has long rooted for the Cubs, and Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder, who turned his love for the Cubs into a song,  “Someday We’ll Go All The Way.”
