CHICAGO: After waiting 108 years, Chicago erupted in euphoric celebration following the Cubs’ historic win of the World Series baseball championship. The streets around the Cubs’ home stadium Wrigley Field were covered with thousands of jubilant fans, as fireworks lit up the sky. The Cubs hadn’t appeared in Major League Baseball’s World Series since 1945 and last won the championship in 1908—when Theodore Roosevelt was president. Zalewski’s 93-year-old father, who suffers from early dementia and attended his first Cubs game in 1942, was watching from home. “He said he’s not going out until the Cubs win,” her daughter added.
