Cubs fans write on Wrigley Field wall after NLCS victory (video)

Fans were provided with chalk and wrote the names of loved ones on the brick wall outside of Wrigley Field after the Chicago Cubs punched their ticket to the World Series.

Wrigleyville erupted on Saturday night when the Chicago Cubs officially won the NLCS to head to the World Series for the first time in 71 years. While plenty of fans were roaming the streets and partying it up, others were doing something you might not have expected.

Andrew Matthews, a long time Cubs fan, brought chalk with him to the brick wall outside of Wrigley Field on Saturday night.

After the NLCS victory, Andrew left the chalk along the wall and encouraged fans to write their names and the names of their loved ones who had been life-long Cubs fans but had passed before they got to see their team return to the World Series.

Fathers, grandparents and anyone else who died before the Cubs made it to the World Series again were remembered late on Saturday night. There were so many stories to be told and so many smiles to go around, it became clear just how important this moment was to the people of Chicago.

You can check out the video of the fans and the wall filled with names above or via Twitter below.

It had been 71 years since the Cubs were last in the World Series, but now the team on the North Side is going to need to focus on ending the 108-year drought without a championship.
