Fans React To Chicago Cubs’ World Series Win

A Chicago Cubs fan is interviewed as she heads to a rally in Grant Park honoring the World Series baseball champions Friday, Nov. 4, 2016, in Chicago. “Both teams played really well, and left everything out there on the field”, Yanni Tsilfides ’19, who loves watching the World Series each year, said.

Francona, who won two World Series titles with the Red Sox before he was sacked after the 2011 season, connected with Cleveland’s players.

Nilson received flowers and congratulations cards Thursday after Cubs defeated the Cleveland Indians by a score of 8-7.

“I think my boss would have been shocked if I hadn’t asked for time off”, Brenneman said. “It’s fitting it’s got to be done with one of the best games of all-time”. “And they have to eat their words”.

“I just had to remind everybody who we are, what we’ve overcome to get here”, he said.

Big Numbers Up North As WellIn Canada, Game 7 handed Sportsnet its largest World Series audience in network history, with an average audience of 2.66 million viewers tuning into the broadcast.

A North Carolina man drove to his father’s grave in IN to keep a decades-old promise to his dad: listening to Game 7 of the World Series together.

“Since I went to high school, and that was nearly a hundred years ago, I’ve been a Cubs fan”, Nilson told WCVB. “That’s all in the past now”. News 5 spoke with fans downtown.

MORE HITS: Shut out four times, it was a boom-or-bust postseason for the Cubs’ big bats.

Chalk this one up as a moral victory for the Indians fanbase. “Want to come to the White House before I leave?”

It’s unclear how many people will attend Friday’s parade and rally. It was a heartwarming moment for a city waiting for one for a long time.

The story of the Cubs, like so many teams (including Cleveland), is filled with sadness and what ifs.

YOUTH SERVED: Don’t expect the Cubs to fade anytime soon.

“Saturday Night Live” had a connection to the Cubs in the late 1990s and early 2000s because of Will Ferrell and his famous impression of former Chicago broadcaster Harry Caray.

Best Cubs headline? I’ll say the Journal-Star. Her grandfather started the business that preceded Murphy’s called Ernie’s Bleachers Tavern. He also assembled the Red Sox team that broke Boston’s 86-year drought with the 2004 championship. “He just missed all of this”. “This has been a healthy partnership as we go back and forth with them”.

Of course, the Cubs didn’t make it easy. NBC had announced Wednesday that it was pulling all of its original series from Wednesday night’s schedule and showing reruns instead. But the Cubs occupy a special place in the heart of Chicago. Davis delivered an RBI single with two outs in the bottom half, but Mike Montgomery closed it out at 12:47 a.m., and the celebration was on. It ranks as the most-watched baseball telecast in FOX Sports’ history and is FOX’s highest-rated and most-watched telecast of any kind since the NFC Championship in January 2016.

“It’s a dream come true”, said fan Denise Watford, 36, near Wrigley Field yesterday.
