Once again the Chicago Cubs are making their victory laps among various talk shows and Kris Bryant and David Ross had the opportunity to celebrate on The Ellen Show.
During their visit to the show, Ross expressed how surreal it was to be on the show and thanked Ellen DeGeneres for having them here.
Meanwhile, DeGeneres told the guys that she predicted the win and rolled some video footage of how the prediction was done, with male strippers.
Ross said he wouldn't have been stressing on the bench if he knew they had already nailed it.
Meanwhile, Ross actually played a male stripper alongside some of his teammates in a recent episode of Saturday Night Live. DeGeneres said that Ross was a hero to a lot of people and to have five million people show up to the parade must have been unbelievable.
Bryant said the parade was almost cooler than winning the World Series all together.
Bryant coined the nickname grandpa for Ross as he was the older member of the team. DeGeneres gave Bryant a wedding gift and it happened to be an Ellen tuxedo.
She presented ross with a baseball bat walker since he will be retiring. Later on in the show, DeGeneres brought a fan, Stephanie, back to the show after she won World Series tickets earlier in the season.
Stephanie got another surprise when she got to meet Bryant and Ross for a special game. You can watch all of the celebratory fun from The Ellen Show in the video below.
