    Bill Murray is everywhere.

    The famous actor and Cubs superfan enjoyed Chicago’s 3-1 win over the Mets on Monday night before taking a subway ride after the game , hopping on the 7 train from Citi Field.

    “Riding the train after a Cubs win with Bill Murray. I just never thought it would be in New York,” X user @BlainPlanes tweeted after the game.

    Murray is known to love the Cubbies, having sung “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” at Wrigley Field before and celebrating the 2016 title in Cleveland, so it’s not surprising that he took in Monday’s game at Citi Field.

    As of last year , the “Ghostbusters,” “Caddyshack” and “Groundhog Day” star owned a home in the area while listing his Snedens Landing home for $2.1 million.

    While the 73-year-old came close to seeing the Cubs end up on the wrong side of history Monday, he instead celebrated a sweet victory.

    Murray’s day also involved spending time in the dugout before the game.

    After being no-hit for seven innings, the Cubs finally tallied a hit against Luis Severino in the eighth inning en route to tying the game at 1-all that frame.

    Third baseman’s Joey Wendle’s decision to pass on a play at the plate for a failed inning-ending double-play attempt ultimately defined the Mets’ loss.

    One inning later, Christopher Morel smoked a two-out, two-run homer to left field off Mets closer Edwin Diaz to give the Cubs a 3-1 lead that held.

    Murray, wearing a Cubs hat and a “Team Mongo” sweatshirt for Bears great Steve McMichael , celebrated with fellow fans after the homer, high-fiving the Cubs’ faithful around him.

    College basketball fans certainly saw plenty of Murray this season while he attended UConn games during their run to a second straight national championship.

    Murray’s son, Luke, is one of the team’s assistant coaches.

    The two shared a moment after UConn’s 75-60 win over Purdue in the national title game.
