For the first time in 71 years, the Cubs are going to the World Series. The Cubs, ultimately attempting to win their first World Series in 108 years, will remember this as one burden shed.

The neighborhood streets were already packed with fans wearing ancient salt-stained Cubs caps, aging wrinkled Cubs shirts, and some even dressed as Cubs players from 1908. Fans were chanting “Ker-shaw, Ker-shaw,” the press box was literally shaking with the rumble below, and players were clapping in unison with the crowd.
