The long road that is Bill Murray’s illustrious acting career may have finally led to his dream job.

The diehard Cubs fan, who was spotted in the stands throughout the World Series last fall decked out in blue and red, has reportedly discussed the possibility of portraying Cubs manager Joe Maddon in a future movie about the historic championship.

Australian director Shane Abbess has been tabbed to lead the Hollywood production, according to a Deadline report, and the 67-year-old Murray is the first name to surface in rumors about the film’s cast. The movie is expected to parallel the title and script of former catcher David Ross’ memoir, “Teammate: My Journey in Baseball and a World Series for the Ages,” which offers a behind-the-scenes look into the Cubs’ journey to the franchise’s first title in 108 years.

Maddon was equal parts honored and humored by the potential of Murray playing him on the big screen.

“Are you serious?” Maddon said after the rumor was relayed to him Wednesday, according to CSN Chicago. “He’s much better looking than me. And second of all, it’s very flattering if that is true. He would totally dig on that, just the part of being on the baseball field as a manager.”

Murray brought levity to the Cubs’ pressure-filled World Series last year, singing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” during Game 3 at Wrigley Field and buying a ticket for a desperate Cubs fan for Game 6 in Cleveland. Now, he has the chance to reenact the special season in a more serious role.

The Cubs have a chance to do it all over again this year after clinching the NL Central Wednesday night. They will face the Nationals in the NLDS starting Oct. 6.
