November 2nd, 2016. That is a day I am sure I will never forget. That is the day that the Chicago Cubs won the World Series for the first time in 108 years.
Chicago Cubs and their fans are known for always believing and staying true to their team, even when they might have been the worst team in the MLB. The joke was always "oh yeah the cubs suck, its been over 100 years since they won the world series.
This year the jokes can finally stop.
Being born and raised a Cubs fan my entire life, I never thought I would be able to say that I would see my team win the series. What I also didn't know was that there were so may Cubs fans not only from Chicago, but from around the country.
Standing in a completely crowded bar not being able to move, we all were cheering for the same thing. The moment the final play was made and the game was over, I've never seen a larger group of people be so unbelievably happy at the same time. There was screaming, crying, endless showers of various beers.
People were crying into the arms of people they have never met, friends and acquaintances were running and jumping into each others arms, and couples were kissing like it was midnight on new years. Some of the people celebrating are not even Cubs fans, they were just excited to be a part of something so big and so special for a lot of us.
Who would have thought that a baseball game could bring all of us people together. But that's the magic of the sport.
Whether you are a Chicago Cubs fan or not, our anthem "Go Cubs Go" will bound to be stuck in your head for a while.
