Who's cheering for the Cleveland Indians in the World Series? At least one big-name celebrity

CLEVELAND, Ohio – The world outside Northeast Ohio might be pulling for the Chicago Cubs in the World Series, but at least one nationally known celebrity threw his weight behind the Tribe early Sunday, about two hours after the National League Championship Series ended.

Tom Hanks, host of "Saturday Night Live," rode out the notes of the finishing music on the NBC comedy show Saturday night, Oct. 22, thanking musical guest Lady Gaga and guest Alec Baldwin before yelling "Go Tribe!" The show ended at 1 a.m. Sunday. The Cubs defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers in Wrigley Field, 5-0, in a decisive Game 6.
