Which professional sports franchise has the longest championship drought after the Chicago Cubs won the World Series.
The curse is over! The Chicago Cubs have finally won the World Series and 108 years of pain have gone down the drain. The drought that many thought would never end has come to an end. It wasn’t easy for the Cubs and they had to fight their hardest to come back.
After coming back from a 3-1 deficit in the World Series, the Cubs then blew the lead late in the game. Fortunately, Ben Zobrist came through and got the big hit to win the game for his team. With the Cubs winning the World Series, the Arizona Cardinals have the longest championship drought in professional sports.
The Cardinals haven’t won a championship since 1947, when they were the then Chicago Cardinals. The team came close to breaking that streak in the 2008 season, but the Pittsburgh Steelers edged them out in a classic Super Bowl.
They now become the lovable losers of sports and people might take sympathy upon them. If they want to shed that label, they can win six of the last seven and make it to the playoffs. This drought might last a while.
