The Chicago Symphony Orchestra backed the Cubs with "Take Me Out to the Ball Game"

By Corinne Landrey

Chicagoans are understandably excited about the recent playoff success of the Cubs, and the latest Chicago institution to express its excitement is one of the most highly regarded orchestras in the world: the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
Under the direction of Maestro Riccardo Muti, the orchestra made a video recording of the most essential piece of music in baseball's repertoire: "Take Me Out to the Ball Game."

They also took to social media to further offer their support of the home team:

Clearly, the CSO will cheer "Go Cubs, Go!" as the NLCS picks back up tonight for Game 3 at 8 p.m. ET on FS1 with the Cubs and Dodgers locked in a tie at one game apiece.
