One of the great things about Bill Murray is he kind of pops up when the world needs him the most. Like offering marriage advice while he crashes a bachelor party, shaking up the realm of golf attire or slinging drinks in Brooklyn. Okay, it was his son’s bar, chances were good he’d show up. If you have even a mild interest in Bill, who just won the Kennedy Center’s Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, you likely know that he is a huge Chicago Cubs fan. Bill is from Evanston, IL and he’ll talk about his Cubs anywhere, including devoted White Sox’s fan Pres. Obama’s briefing room. So it will surprise no one that Bill, who has beenall over this series, made another Cubs fan’s dreams come true when he handed her a ticket to the World Series, Game Six Tuesday and it was the seat right next to him.

No ticket? No problem!

Die-hard Cubs fan Karen Michel got the surprise of a lifetime when at Tuesday’s World Series game, actor Bill Murray gifted her with a Game 6 ticket — right next to his seat.

She says the actor noticed her walking away from the box office, heartbroken, after she was unable to score last minute tickets to the game.

“I thought some people holding tickets might not show up or something, I figured I’d give it a shot but I wasn’t expecting much,” Michel, 54, tells PEOPLE. “It was crazy, Bill walked right by me, grabbed me and gave me a ticket! I said, ‘Where are we going?’ and he said, ‘You can come sit with me!’ ”

Murray escorted Michel to their seats — six rows behind home plate — and the two shared nachos while gabbing about Cubs players and cheering their team on.

The new friends were surrounded by celebrities, including Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam (he sat a few rows in front of Murray and Michel) and Al Roker (in the row behind), at the game.

“We talked about growing up as Cubs fans and playing baseball,” says Michel, who was born and raised near Munster, Indiana. “Bill said he was born in Evanston and used to go to the games with his brother and he played catcher growing up.”

I swear my dead heart just started beating again. Of all the things this nice woman thought was going to happen that day – could you imagine? She didn’t even think there would be a ticket for her at the ticket window, let alone in Bill Murray’s pocket. And she ends up eating nachos and reminiscing about Bill’s childhood. Because this is Bill Murray, it is fairly easy to believe they sat and chatted like old friends but I think sports does that to people. I live in LA where eye-contact with a stranger is illegal but I’ve been wordlessly high-fived by passing strangers wearing the same sports team logo as me. A long time (and usually long-suffering) love for a team bridges almost any cultural divide. Sometimes being a member of the fan club is even better than the sport. Music can make strange bedfellows too. Like the aforementioned Eddie Vedder and Bill singing “The Weight” at a house party after Saturday’s game. I’m not a big baseball person but I’ve been shamelessly living vicariously through my die-hard Cub fan friends. Especially since my 49ers have hit rock bottom and kept digging, my son’s golf coach can’t stop gloating about his stupid Cowboys winning, I now officially live in Rams country and football sucks. Go Cubs!
