Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder, a devoted Chicago Cubs fan, wrote a heartfelt song called 'All the Way' in 2008 as a tribute to Cubs legend Ernie Banks and the team's loyal fanbase.

Born in Evanston, Illinois, Vedder's connection to Chicago sports runs deep. Despite moving to San Diego in his youth, he remained a loyal supporter of the Cubs, Bears, and Bulls. His dedication to the Cubs includes multiple performances at their games and even throwing the first pitch in 2007.

In response to the Cubs' historic World Series victory, fans created an updated version of Vedder's 'All the Way' music video. The new version, officially released by the Chicago Cubs organization, incorporates footage from their championship run and playoff success. The reimagined video quickly garnered over 5 million views, showcasing the deep appreciation Cubs fans have for both their team and Vedder's unwavering support.

This fan-made tribute serves as a fitting celebration of both the Cubs' long-awaited success and Vedder's dedication to the team. While Bill Murray may be recognized as the Cubs' most visible celebrity fan, Vedder's musical contribution has created a lasting anthem for the franchise and its supporters.
