So glad to see the millions turn out for the parade - OMG, never seen anything like it.

Not sure if anyone noted this but:

# of double stitches on a baseball = 108
# of years Cubs fans had to wait = 108

Year they won it all = 2016

Kinda eerie. The gods were with the Cubs. And maybe the capital G guy too, with that 17 minutes rain delay....

There's always next year.

Time for a repeat guys... This was great for baseball. (BTW Cleveland - you guys put up a GREAT fight - super series!)
Cleveland has a very good team! Now the Indians are the team with the longest record of not winning the World Series (since 1948). It could easily have gone their way...
