When you invite Bill Murray to participate in your sporting event, you can probably expect something wacky to happen. Which is why the funnyman is the star every year at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am golf tournament. Beyond the links, Murray is a dedicated Chicago Cubs fan. So he was a natural pick to throw out this season’s first pitch at Wrigley Field.
