And he was good luck, too:
The Cubs were down 5-1, then they started a comeback, then Rizzo tied it up w/ a historic at-bat and HR, then Bill Murray sang the stretch, and now they just took the lead against the Cardinals on a sunny 80 degree Friday afternoon game in front of a full capacity Wrigley Field.

The Cubs are leading 7-5 as of the writing of this post in the 8th inning. Fingers crossed!
