    I grew up watching Harry Caray announce for the Cubs. Budweiser made a video to sound like he called the game last night.

    Not gonna lie, I cried a little.

    Yeah even me, that was very well done.

    Last night was definitely the greatest game I ever watched...more twists and turns than a roller coaster. I guess Cubbies are nicely set for another couple of World Series over the next decade, even if they need to carry Heyward for most of it...team speeches aside! Well done to the Cubbies!

    Unreal, brought a lump to my throat I have to say.

    Advertisers are on point this year, the adds after Cleveland won the NBA and the Cubs won the WS have been spectacular.

    This has been a great thread to follow. I got to see the Cubs play at Wrigley Field a couple of years back, a great experience. I'm delighted for them.

    I'm still somewhat lost when it comes to some of the more technical aspects of baseball but there does seem to be a lot of great knowledge amongst the fans on this thread, so it's been good to read all year.

    108 years - there's hope for us all! :)

    I genuinely couldn't be happier for genuine Cubs fans from Chicago. I was there for two summers where they probably lost a combined 200 games over those seasons and still the games were packed to the rafters (even on Tuesday at 1pms and the likes) and the fans staunchly followed their side. I'd say I went to 7/8 Cubs games and only seen them win once but still wanted to go again due to the atmosphere created!

    I'm also delighted for Rizzo who had to endure those two seasons of losses that I was referring to, it must feel all the sweeter for him.

    There is a massive parade today through the city for the Cubs. Two million people turned out for the Blackhawks (I think that's what I read), I would honestly not be surprised if it was at least double that for the Cubs.

    There not the lovable losers no more! And would be surprised if they didn't win it again within the next 3 years. Next goal is to win one at Wrigley :D

    Gutted I decided against heading for the Ireland/NZ rugby game now. Would be some buzz around the place. Hoping to make the trip for the Jay's series next season. If I get Fenway and Wrigley done I'll be a happy man!

    hi guys new to this forum been following baseball for two seasons now and I'm a big mariners fan

    ..also new to forum...I am Braves fan...but happy to see the Cubs win ...they are one of the teams that got me into baseball. My first MLB game was in Wrigley in 1998...knew nothing about it but quickly got into the Sosa/McGwire home run battle....and from there i was hooked...hope to get back to Wrigley sometime.

    also...gotta say I am very happy with Colon going to Braves for a year...always like him
