Man Of The People Bill Murray Rides NYC Train After Watching His Cubs Beat Mets
Imagine hopping on a train after a Mets game and seeing some dude on the other side of the car in a Chicago Cubs hat who looks strikingly like comedy legend Bill Murray.
That'd be weird…
Now, imagine hopping on a train after a Mets game and seeing some dude on the other side of the car there's in a Chicago Cubs hat who is comedy legend Bill Murray.
That makes sense for some reason, and it happened on Monday night.
The Cubs visited Citi Field on Monday night for the first game of a four-game series, and it's not a huge surprise that one of the most famous Chicago Cubs fans on record was there to cheer on his team.
It's no secret that Murray is a massive sports fan, and more specifically Chicago sports. He's been in plenty of sports movies like Caddyshack and Space Jam and his son is even an assistant coach on the back-to-back National Championship-winning UConn Men's Basketball team.
You've got to think Murray was sweating it last night because he had to watch his Cubs get no-hit for seven innings. However, they finally registered a hit in the eighth inning and went on to win 3-1.
Murray must have been on a high after that game, a high that couldn't even be ruined by hopping aboard public transportation, which is exactly what he did.
Murray was spotted onboard the 7 train after the game.
Bill Murray seems like he'd be hard to miss even on a crowded subway, but the Cubs hat and Team Mongo sweatshirt would help you pick him out.
This seems par for the course of one of Hollywood's more eccentric characters. I mean, this is the guy who famously had a secret 1-800 number that he used for people to pitch him roles. Bill Murray does things differently, so I can certainly believe that he'd eschew a private town car for a ride on the 7 with fellow fans.
Man of the people, that Bill Murray. Man of the people.
