Ice Cube, Jon Hamm headline star-studded World Series Game 2 crowd

Los Angeles brought out the stars — again.

After a celebrity-filled crowd rooted the home team on to a dramatic extra-innings walk-off win in Game 1 of the World Series, another star-studded throng came to see if the Dodgers could make it a 2-0 lead over the Yankees.

Rapper Ice Cube performed for the Dodger Stadium faithful pregame — busting out his 1993 hit, “It Was A Good Day” — before catching the game from a suite.

Actors and game show hosts Rob Lowe and Ken Jeong took in the action, as did Tom Hanks and Anthony Anderson.

Jason Bateman was back for Game 2 after being a massive presence in the opener.

Taika Waititi, Rita Ora, Anna Osceola, and Jon Hamm sat together to take in the Game 2 scene.

Famed scientist Bill Nye was also in attendance to see the pitching duel between Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Carlos Rodon.

Plenty of local legends came out to support the National League champs: Lakers legend and Dodgers co-owner Magic Johnson was among the sold out crowd, along with ex-Lakers Metta World Peace and Michael Cooper, former Dodgers Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier and retired Rams running back Todd Gurley.
