I called my dad the morning after game 7. One of my sisters spent the night before at his house watching the game with him. My dad said he would have gone to bed when the Indians tied the game in the 8th inning, but my sister convinced him to stay up and watch the rest of the game. I am so glad he stayed up to see the Cubs win
And the brick and mortar retail stores/web sites selling Cubs merchandise have been raking in the $$$ the past week. I even broke open the piggy bank to buy a Cubs World Series t-shirt for myself. I also bought a World Series t-shirt, cap and a keepsake copy of the 11/3/2016 Chicago Tribune for my dad for Christmas. If the Cubs won the World Series every fall I would never have to scratch my head wondering what to buy my dad for Christmas.
