Obama invites World Series champion Cubs to White House

The Cubs are World Series champions for the first time in 108 years after Zobrist delivered a tiebreaking double off losing pitcher Brian Shaw in the 10th inning to lead an 8-7 victory over the Indians in Cleveland.

As you might imagine, Game 7 was an even bigger draw in Cleveland and Chicago. For now though, the Cubs will celebrate the one they just won in epic fashion. Hearing him talk about those afternoons at the ballpark, I was struck by how much he loved the game, and not necessarily the laundry. On average, the entire 2016 series is the most watched World Series since the Red Sox broke their curse in 2004.

Dexter Fowler homered on Corey Kluber’s fourth pitch of the game, and 23-year-old Javier Baez and the 39-year-old Ross – set to now retire – also went deep for the Cubs, who led 5-1 in the fifth inning and 6-3 in the eighth.

“People always said if the Cubs win the World Series it would be like hell freezing over”, said Liz Wolfe, a 36-year-old physical therapist.

Tell that to long-suffering Cubs fans, thousands of whom made their way to cheer loudly in Cleveland, and millions more who jumped on the bandwagon late.

“I watched five games at home and they’re showing Eddie Vedder, [Chris] Chelios, whatever, and I’m like, ‘I wonder if I’ll see any of those people, ‘” Michel said.

“I got it three hours before the game, for my brother, who passed away a couple of years ago”.

63 (29.3%) didn’t care who won.

Chicago Cubs fans frantically held their breath in anticipation at the World Series, but there was one person who didn’t seem a bit anxious: Kris Bryant!

The Chicago Cubs met with destiny on Wednesday night and finally turned the page on a century plus eight years of championship-less seasons.

Last night’s World Series game was not a surprise for a baseball fan in Tampa, Florida. Chicago police said Thursday morning that it didn’t immediately have details of possible arrests. They won 103 games during the regular season. “If you want to believe in that kind of stuff, it’s going to hold you back for a long time”.

The National Congress of American Indians has repeatedly called on United States sports teams to stop using Native-American stereotypes as mascots or slurs in their branding.
