Joy in Wrigleyville

The only way to understand what a lifelong suffering Cubs fan felt in 2016, both during the wild ride and after winning the WS is to actually be one. No other sports experience compares. But this MLB Network documentary (only 35 min with commercials taken out) describes it pretty darn accurately!

[@equarg]

One old loyal Cubs man way in a coma and in hospice during the World Series. But his daughter would go to his room and tell him the results of every game. Right after they won, she went to his room and told them they finally did it. He passed away only a few hours later. Probably died the happiest man on earth that day. #truecubsfan

I was born, raised and still reside in the state of Kentucky. In 1981, my family signed up for cable television. One of those channels, just happened to be channel 24, WGN out of Chicago. WGN aired most of the Cubs game. I was hooked, almost immediately. I've been a cubs fan since 1981, and winning the 2016 World Series is beyond words. To this day, I almost still can't believe it.

[@aeromedical6750]

I’m also a Kentuckian who fell in love with the Cubs via WGN. I think I woke up the entire neighborhood the night the Cubs finally broke the curse. What a memory!

[@BALLERBOYS21]

Dude wgn back in the day had the best casters. Ron Santo and Pat hughes were golden and then Len Kasper was probably the only person who could’ve filled Ron’s shoes. So sad both are no longer casting for us/alive.

I can't watch this without crying. I live right outside of Chicago and Northwest Indiana and I've been a Cubs fan my whole life. My aunt and uncle were at game 7 and got to witness it before my aunt passing a few years later. All baseball teams are special but the Cubs just have a little something extra. They bring together friends and family like no other team. That's because in my opinion that's what Chicago does. We have the best sports fans. Period

This moment in Chicago sports history will be considered one of the greatest moments in the history of sports. Mind you I'm a diehard Chicago bulls fan and, I've seen the bulls win multiple championships in the 90's. I also happened to be a Cubs fan as well. Watching the cubs finally win the world series was such an awesome moment in my life!!! The Cubs represent optimism, belief, and never quit no matter what!!! When life gets hard, you have to get up. Life has hit me very hard this year. 2019 has not been a good year for me. But i will keep fighting no matter what!!! CHICAGO BULLS NATION FOR LIFE!!!! CHICAGO CUBS NATION FOR LIFE!!!! CHICAGO BEARS NATION!!!!!!

[@toriboy25]

I was not born into being a Cubs fan. I grew up in Nebraska. My Mom was an all around sports fan. All she really watched was sports and soaps. Her mom and most of her siblings were/are huge Cardinal fans. (They had a very friendly rivalry ) I grew up with my parents being Royals fans. KC was only 2 hours away so we went to at least one game a year and we got KC stations so she could watch the games. Then in the mid-80's we got WGN and that is when she became a Cubs fan. She still loved the Royals but the Cubs were her team. But she liked baseball so much she even like the Braves because she could watch them on TBS when the Cubs were not playing at the same time. She died in 2012 so she did not get to see them win.

[@seanyiscubsfan1]

Almost 3 years later and I still love this moment. It’s a day I’ll remember till the day I die. It was better than all of the Bulls championships in the 90s

He had fallen asleep because the game went so late, and when we told him that the Cubs had won, he cried. I remember praying that he would still be around when the Cubs won a World Series, and so the fact that he was made that last game absolutely perfect :)

if you grew up anywhere near Chicago, you knew what this would mean. We might've lived on the South Side, Sox territory, but we were Cubs fans. Every single year, I would watch to see how far the Cubs would go, and every single time they lost I would say "I am not dying until I see them win". I was at school in San Francisco when the news came out that they made it to the playoffs, and for the first time, I allowed this little bit of hope. Maybe....maybe this time. My friend called me crazy, and I couldn't blame her. They NEVER won. When the last game went to the 10th and a rain delay happened, i almost started praying. And when they won, I screamed. I called my mom. my roommates at the time thought I had gone insane cuz none of them knew the story, none of them were from Chicago. I still see that joy every day, almost two years later. there's not a day that goes by that I don't see SOMEONE wearing blue, the bar across the street flies the W, and we're still celebrating.

I saw Michael Jordan and Patrick Kane bring home numerous titles. I experienced the Superbowl Shuffle. Again, I was never a die hard fan of any sport.

I read comments of Cubs fans getting emotional. I am an SF Giants fan and I get emotional watching this. Why? Not because the 2016 Cubs eliminated the Giants on the way to the WS. I was mad the night it happened, but now I almost feel honored that my team was a part of the Cubs historic journey. So...not crying out of anger that the Giants lost. I get emotional because I know how it feels to finally break through. I get it. Cubs fans deserved 2016 just as much if not more than Red Sox fans deserved 2004, and White Sox fans deserved 2005, and my fellow Giants fans deserved 2010. That moment when you break through and the euphoria that goes with it is only understandable if you've been through it with your team. Great documentary, and what a great team Theo and the Cubs management put together in 2016.

I remember watching game 7, I was in my house after a trip to chicago for Halloween to celebrate my grandma's birthday, it was game 3 when we went to chicago I believe, I've never seen so many fans in one place, but back to game 7, I yelled so loud my neighbor had to check in on us to see if I was okay😅

84 Cubs came out of nowhere...they finished last that spring in the cactus league. 2003 was the toughest for myself.

I was watching from outside a bar in Delray Beach fl. Alot of people became Cubs fans for that moment I know I did.

Ok, ya had me from the beginning. I'm 60, my Grandfather , who died in 2011 at age 92, was a WWII veteran and a Cubs fan should have gotten a visit from his grandson to tell him that the cubs got the "BIG W" . I'm sorry Granddad, I missed that one. And I miss you. Love you and miss you too grandma.

[@toddles822]

As a neutral fan, given the circumstances, it was the greatest game I have ever seen, and it's extremely unlikely it'll be topped

[@Nick9Three]

Damnit Dad. You missed it. 2016 was for you Pops! Fly the W, for those who can’t anymore.

“We’d hop on the L and go sit in the bleachers. That was like the perfect day for her.” Sounds like the perfect day to me, too. Love this team and this city.
