With the closing of the 2016 MLB World Series, let us update some of these numbers listed:

Zero years has it been since the Chicago Cubs had gone to a World Series.

And the last and monumental number to change,

ZERO YEARS since the Chicago Cubs had won a World Series.

The Chicago Cubs have done something so many fans of baseball were doubtful they could ever do. After one-hundred and eight years of hopeless and heartbreaking seasons, they have finally rose out of the ashes and defeated the Billy Goat Curse to win themselves a World Series.

With all their superstitions and drama regarding the curse of the Billy Goat, it was no wonder the Chicago Cubs couldn't just win but had to do so with a story. After rising out of a 3-1 deficit to the Cleveland Indians in the World Series best of seven games, they had forced the series into a game seven.

After blowing their 6-3 lead in the eighth inning, they were able to stop the Indians from taking the lead and instead have the game go to a tie.

After creating this tie and pushing the game into extra-innings, they had luck on their side as the rain came down and they had time to get their heads back in the right mindset.

And after they pushed the game into the 10th inning, they were able to score two runs in the top and keep the Indians from scoring any runs in the bottom.

No longer does a smelly goat haunt the Chicago Cubs and no longer do they have the longest drought of a World Series title out of all teams in baseball. Instead, they hold the most recent.

Congratulations to the Chicago Cubs on their World Series win, and make sure to keep any and all goats away in the future.
