Celebrating Loyalty: The Top 5 Famous Chicago Cubs Fans and an Honorable Mention
From Wrigley Legends to Hollywood's Finest: Unveiling the Top Cubs Supporters
Welcome to the latest edition of "Ultimate Cubs Superfans," where we dive deep into the heart of Wrigley Field and beyond, celebrating those who bleed Cubbie blue not just on game day, but every day. This time around, we're shining the spotlight on the luminaries among us—yes, the famous faces in the stands and their undying love for the Chicago Cubs. There's been a seismic shift in the rankings this offseason, as Jake Johnson slides into the coveted top 5, edging out John Cusack. Let's break down the list:
1. Bill Murray: The Eternal Superfan
Bill Murray isn't just a fan; he's a Cubs institution. His presence at games dates back to the Harry Caray era, and who can forget when he called an inning, delivering one of the most memorable moments in Cubs broadcasting history? His unbridled joy during the Cubs' 2016 World Series run mirrored our own, solidifying his spot as the ultimate Cubs superfan.
2. Eddie Vedder: The Melodic Cubbie
Eddie Vedder's rise in the ranks is a testament to the power of music and baseball intertwined. His tribute song to the Cubs isn't just a melody; it's an anthem, capturing the soul of the fanbase and the eternal hope that "someday we'll go all the way." Vedder's passion for the Cubs, much like his music, resonates deeply with fans. Prior to 2011, I don’t know that he would have made the Top 5.
3. Jeff Garlin: The Voice of Passion
Jeff Garlin brings to the Cubs fandom what he brings to comedy: raw energy, uncontrollable enthusiasm, and a touch of chaos. His vocal support for the team, coupled with his comedic flair, makes him a standout fan who embodies the highs and lows of Cubs fandom.
4. Jake Johnson: The Relatable Fan
Jake Johnson's ascent into the top 5 is a nod to the everyfan. His projects often wink at his Cubs allegiance, and his authentic, down-to-earth vibe resonates with fans. Johnson represents the heart and soul of Cubs Nation: genuine, passionate, and forever hopeful.
5. Billy Corgan: Chicago’s Rock Legend
Billy Corgan, The Smashing Pumpkins' lead, is more than a rock icon; he's a dedicated Chicago Cubs fan. Ranking #5 among the most famous Cubs supporters, Corgan's deep Chicago ties and frequent game appearances highlight his commitment. His Cubs passion reflects the resilience in his music, marking him as a significant figure in the Cubs' fanbase.
Honorable Mentions: The Cubs' Star-Studded Bench
The bench is deep when it comes to famous Cubs fans, each bringing their flair to the fandom. Let's give a shoutout to those who, while not cracking the top 5 this year, still hold a special place in the heart of Cubs Nation. I’m starting to regret the Jack White selection so who should bump into the Top 5.
Roy Wood Jr Big Laughs, Big Smile and Big Cubs Fan
Vince Vaughn: A staple in the stands, his enthusiasm is as infectious as his blockbuster hits.
Nick Offerman: The man, the myth, the mustache. Offerman's loyalty to the Cubs is as solid as his woodworking skills.
Hillary Clinton: From the political arena to the ballpark, her Cubs fandom has historical depth.
Joe Mantegna: A Chicago native through and through, Mantegna's support for the Cubs is as compelling as his acting prowess.
Jim Belushi: Once in the top 5, Belushi's passionate fandom, much like his comedy, is timeless.
Jack White: I think he is a Detroit guy who loves Wrigley Field and Baseball but not 100% Cubs
Tom Morello: Guitar hero and social activist, Morello's Cubs fandom rocks as hard as his riffs.
Ike Barinholtz: From the screen to the bleachers, Barinholtz's love for the Cubs is no laughing matter (well, maybe a little).
John Cusack: A tough year for Cusack as he slips out of the top 5, but his dedication to the Cubs remains unquestionable.
Bonnie Hunt: Her genuine Chicago Roots and heartwarming humor, embodies the spirit of a true Cubs fan
Received a Vote: The Cubs' Cameo Fans
These celebs might not have made the top ranks or the honorable mentions, but their votes reflect a genuine affection for the Cubs, deserving of recognition:
Pete Wentz: Fall Out Boy's bassist hits a home run with his Cubs support.
Jeremy Piven: The Entourage star's Cubs fandom is as solid as his acting career.
