For the first time since 1945, the Chicago Cubs will advance to the World Series — and celebrities are showing they're just like us by losing their minds with excitement!
Comedy legend Bill Murray, who was at the game Saturday night as the Cubbies shut out the L.A. Dogers 5-0 to win the pennant and clinch their date with destiny, actually broke into tears at the realization. Watch!
We are all Bill Murray tonight. Can you believe it? The Cubs are in the World Series! #Cubs https://t.co/os9426RynS

Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder was also in attendance, hanging out in the locker room after and taking a celebratory beer shower with the boys:
