For many years, Bill Murray has cracked jokes about the Cubs' World Series drought.
No more. The Cubs sealed their first championship in 108 years on Wednesday, and the 66-year-old comedian was fired up afterwards.
"Of course I thought this was going to happen," the Evanston native proudly told reporters in the team's locker room.
Murray has had quite the month. Along with watching his beloved Northsiders navigate through the playoffs, he was honored with the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor on Oct. 23. Of course, Murray worked his favorite baseball team into his acceptance speech.
Expect to see a lot more of Murray during the Cubs' parade, and check out the video above to see his full interview after the Game 7 victory.
