Bill Murray entertains RiverDogs players, fans during rain delay

DOWNTOWN (WCSC) - One of Charleston's most famous residents attended Sunday's game between the Charleston RiverDogs and the Savannah Sand Gnats.

Sadly, inclement weather caused a couple delays and the eventual postponement of the game.  However, fans were treated to the sights of Bill Murray rounding the tarp and performing his best slide.

Additionally, rock legend Alice Cooper threw out the first pitch, so those in attendance couldn't have felt too cheated by "Mother Nature."
