Bill Murray Ghostbusters 3 Sequel? Murray Promotes 'Ghostbusters Night' for Toledo Mud Hens [VIDEO]

If you're going to have a Ghostbusters-themed night at your baseball park, who you gonna call?

Bill Murray.

USA TODAY Sports' For the Win has posted a Youtube video of actor Bill Murray helping the Toledo Mud Hens' May 30 "Ghostbusters Night." The Mud Hens thought of the idea in February in honor of the late comedian and "Ghostbusters" co-writer Harold Ramis, who dies on Feb. 24.

Murray appears in a video ad for the team. He does not, however, reprise his role of Peter Venkman in the first two "Ghostbusters" movies. Instead,

Murray does his best impersonation of the legendary Chicago Cubs broadcaster Harry Carey, but he does mix in a line from the movie, saying "We're ready to believe you."

The Mud Hens, who are actually the Detroit Tigers' Triple-A affiliate, will wear jerseys that resemble the Ghostbusters uniforms that Murray, Ramis, Dan Akroyd and Ernie Hudson wore (along with Rick Moranis in "Ghostbusters II") in the movie.

According to USA TODAY Sports, the jerseys are pre-slimed. There's no word as to whether the team will also have unlicensed nuclear accelerators on hand.

No Ramis ties to the Mud Hens appear evident. Ramis was born in Chicago, and his one claim to baseball lore is having co-starred in the baseball-themed movie, "Stealing Home" with Mark Harmon and Jodie Foster.

A new "Ghostbusters" movie is in the works for a 2015 release - with a new casts of Ghostbusters, according to Deadline.com. Ramis had a hand in reviving the franchise, but Ackroyd and director Ivan Reitman never could get Murray to commit to coming back to play his role.

That's when it was decided to bring in a new cast, and Reitman will produce but not direct the reincarnation of the movie.
