Chicago Tribune cover celebrates Cubs World Series win (Photo)

Take a look at the Chicago Tribune’s cover for the Cubs winning the 2016 World Series.

On Wednesday night, Game 7 of the 2016 World Series took place between the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians. The series had been tied at 3-3, but only after the Cubs clawed back from a 3-1 deficit to even things up on Tuesday night.

Game 7 would go into extra innings, but after two 10th inning hits from Ben Zobrist and Miguel Montero, the Cubs would cement their lead. They eventually won, 8-7, with Mike Montgomery closing things out for the illustrious victory.

This World Series win is Chicago’s first since 1908, a 108-year drought. It has been a long time coming for this organization, but they were able to pull it off with a terrific regular season and successful postseason.

Afterward, the Chicago Tribune, one of the city’s top newspapers, revealed their headline for the World Series victory. It says “World Series Champions” with a photo of the team celebrating in the middle of the diamond.

This is a simple headline to highlight a tremendous moment for the formerly cursed franchise. They had been down for over a century, but erased the lack of success they dealt with on Wednesday night. When the Red Sox won the 2004 World Series, it ended the “Curse of the Bambino” and arguably put more pressure on the Cubs to overcome their bad luck. They had to hear it for 12 years, multiple rebuilds, and even hearing that the fans would have to be “patient” when Theo Epstein took over the front office in 2011. However, like it did when Epstein was with the Red Sox, it paid off.

For the offseason, the Cubs can celebrate as World Series champions. The fans may be going even longer than that. It’s a moment to sink in for a lifetime, something that won’t be forgotten.
