If you've been under a rock all day, the big news is that the Chicago Cubs won the Major League Baseball World Series in Game 7 Wednesday night.

Longtime Cubs fan Bill Murray was there to support his team, and when Chicago won in extra innings, he was super pumped. During the post-game celebrations, a photographer snapped this emotional photo of Murray, which quickly spread across the internet.
