The Chicago Cubs are World Champs

The Cubs ended the 108 year drought last night as they beat the Indians in extra innings in Cleveland. The Cubs overcame a 3-1 series deficit and capped it off 8-7 in extra innings last night. Ben Zobrist was named series MVP. The game last night was one of the greatest World Series games ever played. Both Cubs and Indians have epic fan bases. Both teams are young and loaded and we could see this matchup again next year. 2016 was an incredible baseball season. Congrats to the Indians for shocking the world and making it to the World Series. Congrats to the Cubs for being the best team since April and ending the 108 year drought.
