Chicago erupts as Cubs end curse

Finally. At Last! Worth The Wait.

The newspaper headlines on Chicago newspapers said it all on yesterday morning as the city took a collective deep breath and tried to wrap its head around the fact that their Cubs had actually ended the 108-year wait for a baseball World Series victory.

And boy has it been an agonising wait for a supporters who have for so long epitomised the term ‘long-suffering’. Their 1908 World Series success completed back-to-back titles for the National League club from the city’s northside and a third in a row for the city of Chicago, whose American League White Sox from the southside triumphed in 1906.
