The Cubs and superfan Bill Murray appeared on SNL to sing 'Go Cubs Go'
Winning the World Series brings a lot of positives: Being a part of baseball history; Getting to party with your teammates; and, really, the whole city; Meeting the President.
After breaking their 108-year World Series drought, the Cubs got at least one more perk: Going on "Saturday Night Live."
Rizzo,
This was clearly the highlight of their week. #SNL pic.twitter.com/AELyOHk1qL

With a full group of background singers emerging, the group sang -- what else? -- "Go Cubs Go." They even adjusted the lyrics slightly to reflect current events. The white win flag then filled the screen before cutting to commercial at the end of the song.
Will this represent the start of a Cubs touring band? While fans would most definitely buy tickets, and Ross definitely gave it his all in the performance, they are a little better at playing baseball than they are at singing.
The trio also appeared earlier in the episode as Cubs vest-wearing dancers at an elderly woman's surprise bachelorette party.
