But you're likely to see him just about anywhere. Last autumn, for instance, in the middle of a pennant race, he leaned over the lip of the Cubs dugout in Shea Stadium in the late innings and tried to hand a Heineken and some Cajun fries to Rick Sutcliffe, who pitches for the Cubs. Sutcliffe tried not to panic. His manager, Don Zimmer, had turned the color of a cherry tomato. "At least take the fries," Bill said, hanging upside down. Sutcliffe didn't even take the fries. Bill ate them. The Cubs won the division.

Murray seems like a great guy to watch baseball with. But that was insanely boring.

My grandfather, who was probably about 90 at the time, was at a Cubs game and Bill Murray is sitting behind him. He didn't know who Bill Murray was and the two of them talked baseball the whole game. At one point Bill Murray says to him "Do I know you from somewhere?" and my grandfather said "Yeah, you look familiar to me too."

That's better than any passage in that article. Hahaha

Gotta appreciate Bill Murray just wanting to watch the game and talk baseball. He probably can't stand most Cubs fans if the stories in the article are the norm. Not surprised that he doesn't attend games often anymore.
