Bartman ‘overjoyed’ with win, won’t be at parade

More than half of the households in Chicago watched Game 7, as the city generated a 51.2 rating, according to Michael Mulvihill of FOX Sports. Bartman became a pariah in Chicago after the Cubs went on to lose the game and the series to the Marlins.

The Chicago Cubs’ World Series victory on Wednesday night not only ended the team’s historic 108-year championship drought but attracted the biggest USA television audience for baseball in 25 years.

Finally, the wait was over.

Earlier, on the parade route, throngs of young and old blue-clad fans roared as the motorcade of open-roofed buses carrying the players cruised along Lake Shore Drive. “There probably were lots of people in the stands who went to their first Cubs game with a parent and have these incredibly warm, fond memories and went to honor that experience from their childhood”.

There is a new story for Cubs Nation and fans were eager to share it with each other.

That’s what a World Series ticket behind Wrigley Field’s home plate was going for last week.

Huge crowds of Chicago Cubs fans were gathered outside of Wrigley Field in Chicago as the Cubs won their first World Series since 1908. “It happened, baby. It happened!” proclaimed infielder Anthony Rizzo to adoring cheers.

“This is part of history forever”, he said.

School? Work? Forget about it. Not in Chicago Friday. “I thank you”, Murray said.

“People started gathering shortly after midnight is what I’m told”, he added. Most staff will still be at work, but students won’t be in class.

Friday was already a scheduled day off for Chicago Public Schools, meaning the city’s 390,000 public-school students will be able to attend.

“Who’s ready for the parade?” he wrote. The Cubs did it in thrilling fashion, topping the Indians 8-7 in 10 innings for their third straight victory. The Chicago Cubs World Series parade and rally is today!

Not everyone there was a Cubs fan.

White House spokesman Eric Schultz said Obama rooted for the Cubs because he’s from Chicago and the White Sox didn’t make it to the championship. I’m not sure you knew what you were getting into when you bought me that iced Carmel macchiato for amika or when I asked for your number at fall hall, but I couldn’t be happier that you took a chance on us.
