NEW YORK — Along with Bill Murray, Chicago native Vince Vaughn is one of the world's most famous Cubs fans.
Like all Cubs fans around the country, Vaughn was thrilled by the team's first World Series championship since 1908, a seven-game classic over the Indians. Beyond the quixotic quest to end a 108-year title drought, there were other reasons why a record number of TV viewers tuned in to watch Game 7, he said.
At a time when there's so much bad news in sports, fans fell in love with the fresh-faced stars of both clubs, Vaughn said during a preview screening of the new Tom Brady-Michael Strahan-produced documentary, "Religion of Sports," on the AT&T Audience Network.
