Fly the W! The Cubs Win The World Series

You might have heard that the Chicago Cubs won the World Serial. It'southward an incredible time to live in Chicago. The 2nd that game 7 was over Chicago erupted into cheers and applause as fireworks went off all over the metropolis. I was built-in and raised a Boston Blood-red Sox fan, just I fell in dearest with Chicago 8 years agone and am a proud Chicagoan.

I wish I had some amazing story about where I was the moment when that final out was called and the Cubs finally won. I don't. I was on my burrow, dead sober, recovering from having a tooth pulled that twenty-four hour period. (That's a long complicated story about a 9-calendar month long toothache. The moral of that story is that yous tin take a pigsty in your molar and it won't show up in X-rays). I was so nervous about the tooth that I hadn't slept the dark before, but there I was forcing myself to stay awake and keep cheering. I made Charles sit next to me when the score was tied upwards and I explained that we were watching what would either go down as one of the most historic baseball games, or the most tragic baseball game ever. (I grew upward hearing about Bill Buckner'south mistake and didn't want to get my hopes up).

When I moved to Chicago the Cubs were not skillful … and seemed to be getting worse. They lost 101 games in 2012. I used to jokingly say that I was going to live in Chicago "until the Cubs win the World Serial" every bit a way of maxim that I was planning to stay forever.

On November 3rd I woke up and idea, was I on some astonishing drugs yesterday …. or did the Cubs actually win the World Series?! So I went upward to Wrigley to run into World Serial Champions up in lights.

My friend Chrissy and I walked around the stadium soaking information technology all in. Y'all tin can just barely make out the W flag waving in the wind in this photograph.

I started to tear upwards when I saw the brick wall covered in the names of fans who didn't live to see the Cubs win it all.

The next day my friend Lauren and I met up to get to the parade. I couldn't miss the opportunity to come across a parade 108 years in the making – particularly when it was only a mile and a half from my home.

The city estimates that 5 million people went to the parade and rally. I am and then glad that I go to be there. The crowd behaved simply equally you lot would wait a bunch of Midwesterners to conduct, they were calm and kind but oh so excited.

Did you go to the parade? Lookout man information technology at home? I am curious! As well, maybe Theo Epstein should start working his magic on something other than baseball. He's a living legend.
