Bill Murray showed up at the St. Paul Saints game on Thursday night to help take tickets and catch the first pitch at the team's final appearance in its current stadium.

Murray is a part-owner of the team, and threw out the first pitch at Midway Stadium 21-years ago, and has shown up throughout the years to sell beer and flip burgers for the team's fans.

Co-owner Mike Veeck admitted to KARE-11 that Murray is a little sub-par at his ticket taking job, as the line always seems to slow down with him at the turnstile.
