For Alan Ruck, filming a scene during a Chicago Cubs game in the iconic '80s teen movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off felt like "coming home." He continued: “I think we got some longer shots of Matthew holding the ball up and everything when some fans were allowed to filter in with us carnie trash." “I had gone to many baseball games as a Chicagoan, as a Cubbies fan, going out to the bleachers, eating Smokies and drinking too much beer,” Ruck told the outlet “Even though I'm from Cleveland originally, Chicago is sort of my adopted city, and so [the movie] was kind of like coming home.”
