Watching the Chicago Cubs win their first World Series in 108 years was epic enough, but it also gave fans a chance to see some celebrities mingling with the champions.
Actor Bill Murray and Pearl Jam front man Eddie Vedder, who both hail from Evanston, Ill., are huge Cubs fans. Needless to say, they were pretty pumped up after Chicago beat the Indians 8-7 in Game 7. And because they have a few connections, they got to celebrate on the field and in the clubhouse in Cleveland.

Things got wild pretty quickly once they started popping champagne with the world champs, and Murray became a temporary reporter for FOX.

Vedder and Murray partied hard after they left Progressive Field and even had a little sing-a-long to The Band’s “The Weight.”

Not a bad way to spend a night, if you ask us.
