WATCH: Mariachi band breaks out in Cubs locker room

---

It's Cinco De Mayo celebration time as today is the 154th anniversary of the Mexican Army's victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.

For most of the world, it is just an excellent excuse to drink Margaritas or cold cervezas (beer) and eat obsene amounts of tortilla chips at their favorite Mexican eatery.

The Cubs had a Mariachi band play for their players in the locker room before tonight's Washington Nationals game at 7:05 CT.
