Before the first-ever night game at Wrigley Field on Aug. 8, 1988 — 25 years ago Thursday — legendary comedian Bill Murray joined legendary broadcaster Harry Caray in the broadcast booth. If you need a better pitch than that to convince you to watch the video, we have nothing in common.

There’s a ton there, the least of which is that Murray was promoting Scrooged at the time. There’s also:

Murray wearing sunglasses.

Caray handing Murray a beer.

But the glimmering moment of hope for all baseball fans tired of boring broadcasts came after Caray asked Murray if he had any plans to go into baseball broadcasting:

“I think when I completely lose my mind, Harry, I’m going step right up into your spot in the booth.”

I’d continue, but it’s hard to type with my fingers crossed.
