'Director of Fun' Bill Murray Joins His MiLB Team's Champagne Celebration

Kyle Newport

Although he is best known as an actor and comedian, Bill Murray is also a co-owner of the Charleston RiverDogs, the Single-A affiliate of the New York Yankees.

Not only does he have an ownership stake in the team, but he also holds the official title of the "director of fun." 

That is a role he takes seriously.

On Tuesday night, Charleston earned a spot in the South Atlantic League playoffs by clinching the first-half Southern Division title with a 3-0 victory over the Augusta GreenJackets (the Single-A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants).

Following the baseball tradition, the RiverDogs celebrated their division title by breaking out the champagne and going wild.

And who was in the middle of the party? The 65-year-old Murray.

Unfortunately, we have no idea if Murray engaged in the dance-off that happened in the clubhouse:

Regardless, it looks like the director of fun did a good job helping with the celebration.
