(CNN) — Is there anyone happier today than Bill Murray?

Probably not.

You can’t talk World Series victory and not mention the actor and major Chicago Cubs fan.

A quick peek at social media shows Murray appearing to be everywhere celebrating with a grin so big you would think a curse had been lifted or something.

Who needed a ticket to the game when we had Bill Murray there representing us?

And his face when they won? Twitter said it best: “We are all Bill Murray tonight.”

Not to take away from the incredible performance of the team, but we are going to say that Murray’s good vibes contributed.

He’s always been a wonderful everyman, but lately he’s been going the extra mile.

From bar tending a shift at a Brooklyn bar to giving his extra World Series ticket to a fan from Indiana so she too could enjoy a little bit of history, the dude couldn’t be cooler.

And we are betting that today he is walking on cloud nine and hoping for a “Groundhog Day” repeat next season.
