A World Series for the Generations
The seemingly impossible has become possible, the Cubs are World Series champs for the first time in over a century. For 108 years Cubs fans have been waiting for this elusive third World Series title. Who would have thought that after winning 2 of the first 5 World Series in history that the next would have to wait for more than a century. They did, after all, make it to seven World Series in the next 37 years which is no small accomplishment. Yet, not once in those next seven tries did they win the whole thing. Once World War II came and went and the Cubs made the Series in 1945 the real drought began as the Cubs would not even make the Series again until this year, 2016.
