Watching your team crush a national championship is sweet. Seeing ’em do it after an 108-year drought is… Well. We don’t know, ’cause no top-flight Australian team has been cursed with such a long losing record.
Fortunately for us, Bill Murray knows that feel, ’cause he just watched his beloved Chicago Cubs win baseball’s World Series for the first time since 1908.

Old mate even called out Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel, saying the city’s tykes should get the rest of the week off:

And then the bloke even wound up on the other end of the microphone – and a champagne shower – while interviewing the team’s boss:

You best believe he necked that bad boy, too:

On this blessed day, we are all Bill Murray. Except for Cleveland fans – but they’ve had enough drought-breaking of their own recently, so let’s just give Bill this one.
One happy @Cubs fan. #BillMurray #WorldSeries pic.twitter.com/qkcDd0QuLr
