2017 World Series Game 1: Celebrities attend game, cheer for Dodgers

The game between Los Angeles Dodgers and Houston Astros at the 2017 World Series was much-anticipated by fans. So much so that celebrities who were rooting for the teams came to the game as well.

Nothing beats watching a game than witnessing it live. This was the case for some of the celebrities who took the time off their busy schedule to support their team at the much-talked-about game. Game 1 of the series was held at the Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, on Oct. 24, Tuesday, so celebrities were able to catch the win of the Dodgers in person.

Lady Gaga, who went to the game with her best friend, shared a photo of her and her friend with Joe Torre, Major League Baseball's chief baseball officer. "Family Guy" voice actor Seth Macfarlane also watched the game, as proven by the photo he posted on social media, with an unsurprisingly comedic caption.

Former "Parks and Recreation" actor Rob Lowe could not hide his excitement, as seen in the photo he posted, where he was beside Vin Scully, Dodgers announcer. Extra host Mario Lopez went with his son to the game, obviously supporting Dodgers with their matching blue caps.

Ken Jeong, known for his role as Leslie Chow in the "Hangover" films, went all-out in showing his support for Dodgers. Lovebirds "Total Recall" actress Jessica Biel and "Not A Bad Thing" singer Justin Timberlake, who recently made the world gush with his 5<sup>th anniversary greeting for Biel, were seen sporting blue caps at the game.
