Bill Murray has a singing gig going for him, which is nice.

News outlets are reporting that the 66-year-old Charleston resident and famed actor will sing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” during game 3 of the World Series.

MLB.com’s Adam McCalvy reported Murray, an avid Chicago Cubs fan, will sing the song in the middle of the seventh inning.

The game is scheduled to air 8 p.m. Friday on Fox.

This will be the first world Series game at Wrigley Field since 1945, TheScore.com reported.

Murray was also spotted crashing a White House briefing about week ago decked out in Cubs gear. He was in Washington D.C. at the time to receive the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.
