FINALLY!!!!

The Chicago Cubs finally won the World Series. After 108 years, the Cubs finally became the champions of baseball again. The story of this team is incredible. The Cubs prior World Series championship was in 1908. During that time, the Cubs had to watch 21 other teams win one to multiple championships including there cross town rival, the Chicago White Sox. There was even talk that this team was cursed because of a Billy goat that wasn't allowed into the 1945 World Series. According to legend, Billy Sianis was not allowed into Wrigley Field for a World Series game because he had a goat with him. At this point, Sianis said that the Cubs would never go to the World Series. Up until this past year, this held true.

Then the 2016 baseball season started. The Cubs were predicted to win it all at the beginning of the season. They then went 103-58 with the best regular season record in baseball. In the playoffs, they defeated a tough San Franciso Giants team 3 games to 1 in the National League Divisional Series. The Giants had a lot of experience in winning championships, especially in the last 6 seasons. The Cubs then defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 4 games to 2 in the National League Championship Series for their first pennant in 71 years. The Cubs then went on to face the Cleveland Indians in the World Series. The Indians took a 3 games to 1 lead in the series and the Cubs championship dreams looked like they were about to go up in smoke. But then, the Cubs won game 5 3-2. They then blew out the Indians in game 6 9-3. Finally, they won a thrilling 10 inning game 7 8-7 to finally win the World Series title. Cubs fans finally got to witness a championship that no one ever thought would happen again. This was an incredible year for an incredible team. Go Cubs Go!
