I’ve been a lifelong fan of the Chicago Cubs. I’ve been to their games, watched them on television, talked about it with friends, and once, even paid attention to individuals statistics. However, it’s the same thing every year with them. They lose, and we say next year. They lose constantly, and we say next year. Except, this year was different.

The city of Chicago was still. It was Game 7 of the World Series, and the Cleveland Indians were hosting the Chicago Cubs. 108 years of pain and sadness could be wiped away. Everyone was somewhere, ready to watch one of the biggest games of baseball to ever be played. I was at a watch party with a bunch of diehard Cub fans.
