The Chicago native has served as a sort of team mascot, following the Cubs though their playoff run.

He later celebrated by interviewing Cubs president Theo Epstein in the team's clubhouse, swigging and spraying champagne with players and telling reporters trying to interview him to "relax a bit" before dousing the group with bubbly.

—@Nick_OffermanThey are among the celebrity fans of the Chicago Cubs, who ended a more than century-long drought in winning the World Series.
The Cubs built an early lead in last night's seventh and deciding game before the Cleveland Indians stormed back to tie the game on a two-run homer in the eighth inning. After a brief rain delay after the 9th inning, the Cubs scored twice in the top of the 10th and held on for the win.
