- The only way to understand what a lifelong suffering Cubs fan felt in 2016, both during the wild ride and after winning the WS is to actually be one. No other sports experience compares. But this MLB Network documentary (only 35 min with commercials taken out) describes it pretty darn accurately!
![Lovable Winners (2016) [Chicago Cubs Documentary]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/S9z7-W7Cr7M/mqdefault.jpg)
One old loyal Cubs man way in a coma and in hospice during the World Series.
But his daughter would go to his room and tell him the results of every game.
Right after they won, she went to his room and told them they finally did it.
He passed away only a few hours later.
Probably died the happiest man on earth that day.
#truecubsfan
😭
I doubt he knew.
@Costa Zambaras I'd be the happiest man on Earth if you hadn't been a fucking moron and been so God Damned petty you fucking loser.
equarg, I can't imagine the high followed by low for his daughter. To see the Cubs win and then see her father die. That was a lot to stomach!
@@sbcburgos2300 no she probably was happy, I would be. Knowing my fathers last moment was something he’s waited for his entire life.
I can't watch this without crying. I live right outside of Chicago and Northwest Indiana and I've been a Cubs fan my whole life. My aunt and uncle were at game 7 and got to witness it before my aunt passing a few years later. All baseball teams are special but the Cubs just have a little something extra. They bring together friends and family like no other team. That's because in my opinion that's what Chicago does. We have the best sports fans. Period
Best part is Carrey wife that was outstanding
Of course, one still has to feel sorry for Cleveland. It's 2019, the Indians still have not won in 71 years.
Not this "ONE"
Chicago Cubs fans are some of the most loyal and greatest fanbases in American sports no doubt about it.
What other team had their own song when their team wins? In any sport?? Sure some teams have songs they play, but they never mention the team let alone have the song be made for the team.
@@BALLERBOYS21 bear down, Chicago bears, weird its also Chicago
Bear Down, is also for the University of Arizona.
@@kellancarney810facts bear down as well, but other than that….?
@@BALLERBOYS21 there is none, like I said before, wierd that their both Chicago
Why am I crying omg 😭😭😭 I’m a chinese girl from San Francisco but I this is so heartwarming
That's awesome. In my opinion baseball is the best sport. Plus, I bet if you like baseball, you will find a smart guy who also likes baseball.
Thank you. Us Cubs fan love you too. 💗
It’s always heartwarming to see the Millionaires play with their balls and do it so good the win more money. Yeah I’m shedding a tear
A friend of mine, Dan died a couple of months before the playoffs, he was a big Cubs fan. A mutual of friend of Dan's said that he caused the rainstorm that night to allow the Cubs to regroup and win the title.
oh Yes! and my dad was with him2! my dad was a lifelong LOYAL Fan and Passed that Down to me! i thought that night in 2016-i miss dad and Wished he was here to FINALLY reap that reward of being a Fan for 68 years.. then i realized.. wait he's here and made this happen from above LoL! So yanno.. WE DID watch this together!!
I don't know much about baseball but the line "the good news is there is another angel in the outfield." got me crying as a grown man.
Go watch angels in the outfield and you might have a seizure from emotions lmao
Thankyou Jeff, -GREAT VIDEO, i was standing on my livingroom table in Stockholm, Sweden, screaming like a mad person when it finally happened, noone here understood, there is no baseball in Sweden, i fell in love with The CUBS in 1979 when my host family, The Dietrich´s from Downers Grove took me to Wrigley and now 37 yrs later-I still celebrate ***
Anna Wennerholm that's awesome Anna!
Anna Wennerholm so what's wrong with them now?
i was at work in austria - we had the shift ending... my coworkers were puring in and i was ready to leave my night shift... i held it in until i was home... then the fload broke and i cried myself to sleep... still get goosebumps when i think of that moment
I never thought I would love to see it happen. Cancer survivor for 15 years and I did see it. !!
That's beautiful
As a Blue Jays and baseball fan I will never forget Nov 2nd 2016. One of the greatest sports games ever played, the dramatic Rajai Davis HR to tie it up and the Cubs winning it in extras with Kris Bryant smiling as it was all about to go down. Moments like that are what makes sport great.
Especially when you’ve been suffering with them since 1969, as I have.
Here's the thing: the game started on Nov 2 but it ENDED on Nov 3...my birthday. Best one I will ever have
That video hits me square in the middle of the heart! The times I was heartbroken by the Cubs I'd say " I inherited a curse from my dad " but I stayed loyal..Now looking back I really inherited a beautiful tradition! I bleed Cubbies blue!
two and a half years later i still get teary-eyed. #missmyfather
Adam, three years later and I also get tears in my eyes. Remember the night they won the World Series like it was yesterday. Remember how I cried. Remember saying this one's for you Harry, Ron and Ernie. This is my favorite vidio. THANK YOU FOR SHARING.
5 years.... Still crying.
Go Cubs Go!!!!!!###
me 2.. when you say #missmyfather was he alive in 2016 to see it? mine was a fan for 68 years and sadly had passed before they won.. 2015 rip papa.. i was SO wishing we could've been together watching this historic moment.. but then realized.. he WAS there with me in spirit.. he was..
Ive being a baseball fan for 20years. Last week I went Wrigley field as my first MLB experience. It’s such an amazing moment in my life.
Now I back to my home country, watch this video and memorize everything in Chicago.
It’s a beautiful city.
Go Cubs Go.
I was born, raised and still reside in the state of Kentucky. In 1981, my family signed up for cable television. One of those channels, just happened to be channel 24, WGN out of Chicago. WGN aired most of the Cubs game. I was hooked, almost immediately. I've been a cubs fan since 1981, and winning the 2016 World Series is beyond words. To this day, I almost still can't believe it.
I’m also a Kentuckian who fell in love with the Cubs via WGN. I think I woke up the entire neighborhood the night the Cubs finally broke the curse. What a memory!
Dude wgn back in the day had the best casters. Ron Santo and Pat hughes were golden and then Len Kasper was probably the only person who could’ve filled Ron’s shoes. So sad both are no longer casting for us/alive.
same here in TX.
I grew up in Ky and watched ryne Sandberg Mark Grace Sean dunston Sammy Sosa mark Pryor Kerry Wood and so many more via wgn. I was the only Cubs fan in my house. Nobody but me ever believed that this would ever happen. It was one of the best days of my life.
From Kansas, and another great thing was they didn't even have lights till 89 and Still played mostly day home games as a kid in the summer would love watching Harry Carey in the daytime
I live in Oregon, Been a cubs fan since i was 5 and i am 41 now..... When the Cubs made the world series, I called out sick for a week and flew out there.... Greatest decision i ever made!
108 years but the reward was priceless...
That was my 21st birthday, i remember in August looking at the playoff schedule for some unknown reason, and seeing that game 7 was going to be that day. I kinda put it out of my mind. Then as the playoffs and world series went on i realized that this was going to happen. For the rest of my life, my birthdays will always be marked by what happened on my 21st, and I can't think of anything better.
29th Birthday for me. Was an amazing experience getting to see the one thing I wanted - my team winning it all with the parents who raised me as a Cubs fan.
If this was not the best reason in the world to get shit faced drunk I don't know what could have been.
My 23rd birthday was shortly after that on November 14. We got lucky to see the Cubs win at these ages. Young enough to celebrate and live it up and also still be able to remember it the rest of our lives. We may see them win again, but nothing will be like the one in 2016.
Jeff I am a Cubs fan in Israel and I have looked for this video everywhere with no luck. God Bless You.
So glad I could help.
Hey Jeff, What is Luck? In The United States Of America 🇺🇸 We Say Good God!!!
May God Bless Isreal Amen 🙏
Will Will Fuck you scumbag
@Daniel Rosenberg, God bless you. El-Shaddai, El-Elyon na Adonai, Erkamka na Adonai El-Shaddai! 🇺🇲🇮🇱
Rays, including former Rays players and especially JoeMad and Zorilla as well as Cubs team fan ... I’ve viewed Joy of Wrigleyville with various family/friends on no less than 50 occasions.
Really old timers might vaguely remember my relative Hal Jeffcoat, a Cubs OF whom upon being traded to Cincy was moved to starting pitching going 8-2 in ‘56. But then 12-13 the next. Always loved the Cubs here.
Almost 3 years later and I still love this moment. It’s a day I’ll remember till the day I die. It was better than all of the Bulls championships in the 90s
It's been almost 2 years and I still cry like a baby when I watch this or Game 7. I went to my first game at Wrigley this last Tuesday and I had goosebumps the entire time, while slso thinking of my neighbor as a kid (Joe) just like I did during the WS. Wow, just Wow!
i tear up every time lol no shame!
Very nice.Glad they finally made it.
I still cry when I watch this.
From my earliest memories of live games in 69, to this. Holy shit. Jack, Lou, Harry. RIP
This moment in Chicago sports history will be considered one of the greatest moments in the history of sports. Mind you I'm a diehard Chicago bulls fan and, I've seen the bulls win multiple championships in the 90's. I also happened to be a Cubs fan as well. Watching the cubs finally win the world series was such an awesome moment in my life!!! The Cubs represent optimism, belief, and never quit no matter what!!! When life gets hard, you have to get up. Life has hit me very hard this year. 2019 has not been a good year for me. But i will keep fighting no matter what!!! CHICAGO BULLS NATION FOR LIFE!!!! CHICAGO CUBS NATION FOR LIFE!!!! CHICAGO BEARS NATION!!!!!!
Thank you one million times for this great video, I'm a Cubs fan since 1984 and this was one of the happiest days in my life. GoCubs .
My story started in 1983 in North Alabama when we started getting WGN on cable. I came to love the Cubs and still do! Go Cubs Go! Holy Cow!
I remember I was at my parent's house watching the game with my mom, and when they made the final play, we practically jumped off the couch and started crying and screaming....We called my grandpa, who has also been a life-long Cubs fan. He had fallen asleep because the game went so late, and when we told him that the Cubs had won, he cried. I remember praying that he would still be around when the Cubs won a World Series, and so the fact that he was made that last game absolutely perfect :)
My Son came over to my place to watch Game 7. He brought cold Budweiser and Panda Express. My fortune from my cookie said "'GOOD NEWS WILL BE COMING YOUR WAY VERY SOON". Did I also tell you it's been taped to the keyboard on my computer ever since?
Alice Bergerom No way!! That’s too cool!
I am dying and looking back on life this is one of my top 10. Thank you Cubs!
I was not born into being a Cubs fan. I grew up in Nebraska. My Mom was an all around sports fan. All she really watched was sports and soaps. Her mom and most of her siblings were/are huge Cardinal fans. (They had a very friendly rivalry ) I grew up with my parents being Royals fans. KC was only 2 hours away so we went to at least one game a year and we got KC stations so she could watch the games. Then in the mid-80's we got WGN and that is when she became a Cubs fan. She still loved the Royals but the Cubs were her team. But she liked baseball so much she even like the Braves because she could watch them on TBS when the Cubs were not playing at the same time. She died in 2012 so she did not get to see them win.
I was so happy for the cub fans watching remembering how it felt watching my red Sox. This is fucking awesome. I love it good job Theo
Kris was the league MVP in 2016 as he should have been, but the MVP of the Cubs was Dexter Fowler. Without him setting the table for Kris, Javy, Anthony, Kyle it never would have happened. I am so glad I lived to see my boys win it all. And they did it on my birthday
Mrs.Talhami must of been one amazing lady. I always get emotional hearing her story. Especially when her daughter talks about her sparkly blue eyes and how much she meant to that family. I know she's looking down on all of her family members.
its been almost a year since that beautiful night and I am still emotional
Me as well. I wish I could say I'm just as excited now as I was at this moment last year, but I can't. They'll probably make the playoffs again, but they aren't winning it all again. Looks like it's the Indians' year!
Wrong Again--Billy Goat 🐐
These emotions are why we love sports.. grew up watching a lot of chuffing sports and created a lot of emotional connections over the years... the heartbreake always hurt for a few month/years but the victories.. they last a lifetime...
Go cubs go.. bear down.. swing low sweet chariot.. we'll never die #ggmu. Its coming home (... Eventually)
2016.....the absolute greatest year in sports
Freddy Jefferson Cavaliers winning, Cubs winning, game winning, buzzer beater three for Villanueva to win National Championship. Clemson game winning touchdown with time expiring to win National Championship, Brady’s Comeback. Yeah, possibly the greatest year I have ever witnessed in sports!
I'm not a Cubs fan at I tear up at 16:04 every time
I am a die hard Cincinnati reds fan.. but this doc is amazing..it capsulates everything that is special about baseball...I remember my grandpa used to work 3rd shift..I would go visit during the summer...no matter how tired he was , he always found time to pitch to me..to talk... about the reds.. about life... he put the love of baseball in my heart.. the love of the reds... latter in life I chose to rebel to live the party life...he was extremely disipointed in some of my decision... we would drive back to Columbus from the small town he lived in .. some of those ride's were tense... with some pretty intense conversations ... but eventually the conversation always ended up about the reds...no matter how distant we became..we always had that common ground... when the reds win the world series again...I will be at his grave also.... to some people this may sound crazy... but not to me...and not the people in this documentary....GO REDS... GO BUCKEYES
I just like seeing people happy and winning. Love from Minnesota
Mary Beth's Mom with that cigar in her mouth rooting for The Cubbies..... My favorite moment of this documentary. I still get emotional listening to Jen and her Family's story. That's what chicago, family, and being a Cubs fan is all about. I truly believed she had the best seat in the house for game 7!
Can you repost this with the 10th inning included?
Stephen Fletcher Got a better idea. Upload the whole video. From start to finish ❤❤
How can I do that?
I don’t even like (Braves fan) the Cubs but this even made me cry.
I watched my team Hammarby IF win the championship for the first time in 104 years!
The club was founded 1897 and we won the title in 2001.
It was pure joy and I have never seen so many grown people cry in my life!
I tuned in to game 7 because I new it would be really special if you won.
And you did!!
Congrats to the Chicago Cubs!!!
I wish my grandpa could have seen this. 😭 Go Cubs Go!!!!
my baby brother was born the year the cubs won. Named him anthony. Then we got a new dog and named him rizzo. Gotta love the cubs. Emotional video love it
LOL, GREAT story!
good player to name them after. class act
Kate A u just need a kris pr bryant or a joe or maddon
My Son named his new boy Wrigley. All Great names.
Im a Yankees fan but this made me crack 😭😭😭
Dear god, I'm an English 50yrd and I have fell in love with baseball in the last few years, what a sport :)
Never to late Peter. Welcome to the best sport in the world.
yayy!!!
June 20, 2017.....still have tears in my eyes watching this! #ThatsCub
To John Cusack,
To one Chicogoian from another,
God bless you , no one could have narrated this story better.
I'll always have a special place in my heart for you.
Been a Cubs fan since 1990 because my Great Uncle have Alzheimer's. Now I got to root on the Cubs.
if you grew up anywhere near Chicago, you knew what this would mean. We might've lived on the South Side, Sox territory, but we were Cubs fans. Every single year, I would watch to see how far the Cubs would go, and every single time they lost I would say "I am not dying until I see them win". I was at school in San Francisco when the news came out that they made it to the playoffs, and for the first time, I allowed this little bit of hope. Maybe....maybe this time. My friend called me crazy, and I couldn't blame her. They NEVER won. When the last game went to the 10th and a rain delay happened, i almost started praying. And when they won, I screamed. I called my mom. my roommates at the time thought I had gone insane cuz none of them knew the story, none of them were from Chicago. I still see that joy every day, almost two years later. there's not a day that goes by that I don't see SOMEONE wearing blue, the bar across the street flies the W, and we're still celebrating.
Looking back at this year just brings me tears of joy!
Non-Cubs fan will never truly understand the joy I felt that night. Pure joy.
ST LOUIS BLUES and TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS FANS can sort of relate. 52 years and counting. Here's hoping ST LOUIS ends their drought this year, and next year that I can finally hear the words I've been waiting 38 years to hear...."THE TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS HAVE WON THE STANLEY CUP!"
Michael Rice dont hold your breathe.
@@MikePhotoGuy666 The Blues took the Cup finally.
I do fully understand. That's why i watch these videos even though I'm not from there. Very few things in sports please me more that to see a long drought end and in the last decade several have done that.
Bullshit. I'm a White Sox fan and got to celebrate in 2005. 2016 was simply the Cubs' turn.
My wife was 9 months pregnant with our daughter during the series, and watched every second with me. My son is as did hard as I am. I can't begin to explain what the cubs have meant to me and what a gift it is to pass it on to my kids. Cubs till I die!
Hope you named her Addison.
Here in 2020 still and will be for many many years/tears to come. I love my city! I love my Cubbies!
I'm a Yankees fan I live in Toronto. I've celebrated a lot of championships. But no championship brought me any near the joy the Cubs brought you and their great fans. You guys deserved it more than anyone else
The two biggest Cubs fans I knew - my dad and my grandma - died in early 2016. I wish they were around to see it, but I can't help but wonder if maybe they helped make it happen.
….I will never forget calling my dad and my grandpa SOBBING. They are both the reason I’m a Cubs fan. My grandpa was on hospice when they won in 2016. He died in January 2017. I got to talk to him about it…I’ll never forget.
the guy at the cementery close to midnight. listening to the game with his passed away dad. unreal!!!
Told my father WHEN his beloved Mariners Won I would sit at his headstone and watch the game with him. 600 Mile Drive into the Rocky Mountains where that time of a year it snows and freezes. Told my Wife I will have to go myself. It will be too emotional to share it with anyone but him. Made that promise before a Wife and Kids back in 2008 on his deathbed. Now it will be my beautiful late Mom and two late brothers as well joining us to watch.
Baseball was the family game. Now only I am left to carry it on…
Even as a White Sox fan I was so happy and excited the Cubs finally won a World Series. Still a Chicago team so I’m gonna cheer for them UNLESS they are ever playing the white Sox
I remember watching game 7, I was in my house after a trip to chicago for Halloween to celebrate my grandma's birthday, it was game 3 when we went to chicago I believe, I've never seen so many fans in one place, but back to game 7, I yelled so loud my neighbor had to check in on us to see if I was okay😅
There was too much of a gap between the game tying home run and the Cubs winning.
Then slide the bar further right... TECHNOLOGY.
@@audilicous how does that solve his problem? He's saying they cut out a large portion of the end of the game (e.g., reactions to the game-winning hit, reactions to the final play, etc.) Sliding the bar to the right doesn't make that cut material just magically appear in the video.
@@ry.the.stunner False
@@audilicous True. The video contains what it contains. No sliding of the bar will make missing content magically show up in the video.
@@ry.the.stunner Reread what I said kid
I'm so happy this finally happened. My Dad and older brother are Sox fans. They went to game 1 of the 05' series when the Sox did it and never let up since. My mom, oldest brother, and I who are Cubs fans had to suffer and my Mom really showed me what's it like to be a Cubs fan at a young age. I'm very appreciative of this and it's something I'll cherish forever. Go Cubs!
I dreamed of this moment my whole life. To the ivy my family planted on our front deck. The wiffle ball games hitting homers and imagining the ball landed in the basket in left field. To the games i went to with my uncle and father and friends. To the time a 12 year old boy met Harry Carey and got his autograph and still hangs it in his home. This was the most amazing game I have ever seen. Go Cubs Go! I watched this game in Texas as a Correctional officer and will never forget that night.
As a Phillies Fan I Don't Hate The Cubs Since They are My 2nd Team in Baseball I Was So Happy For Them When They Won The WS For The First Time in 100 Plus Years Go Phillies and Go Cubs!
Vince Niederman Ryno is our bond!
Big Red Sox fan here. Coming from my experience in 2004.. watching them win it all with my grandmother, and seeing her reaction to it.. that moment will NEVER leave my memory. Watching this, and seeing how all the Cubs fans reacted to them winning.. legitimately brought tears to my eyes. Love and cherish these moments, people. Especially with your older parents/relatives. They don't come around very often. :)
How do i still get nervous thinking of cubs losing although i know the outcome lol
On November 2 2015 my father was suddenly taken from myy family, after living through the first year of pain and suffering i got to experience true happiness again, i thank god for that 2016 team and for the world giving me my sign of good things ahead
This ended horribly, what a let down, I was expecting to see the people celebrate and it just ended.
As a Cardinals and Royals fan (especially Royals fan) I know that the Cubs fan base showed the true fans heart, by never giving up, never stop believing and good things will come your way.
prove to me ANY other sport where the fans are this loyal.
If anyone wants a link to the entire show, message me and I'll post it. MLB sent me a link since I was in it talking about my dad. I'm also on Facebook on the Go Cubs Go forum. I'd be happy to send it to anyone. Thank you. Go Cubbies!
Hello, I would appreciate it if you could send me the entire show with the ending. Thank you!

Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you very much Phillip! Listening to you talk about your dad is very heartwarming! Your dad would be very proud of you. Go Cubs!!
Thank you Paul!!! :)
Why do I feel like this video was missing a clip?(you know the cubbies taking the lead in the 10th????
really good except for the cringe, forced monologue at the start
One of my favorite videos on UA-cam, but wish they had covered the drama of the extra innings/rain delay in game 7.
i cry every time i watch Game 7 11 2 16 is the greatest day of my life! Go Cubs Go
Me to Lucus
I remember when I went to class the next day nobody could even begin to focus, everybody was on an adrenaline rush talking about the big win. They should have just cancelled all class that day being in the Chicago area and all.
So many onions right now...THIS is why Chicago.
Amazing game and even better video. Thank you
108 years is unbelievable,they all feel good but the first one is always the best.
Not even a cubs fan but man watching the Cubs win was something that made me smile sad to see how many people didn’t live to see this :(
i was huggin every fool i saw out in the streets lol
As a neutral fan, given the circumstances, it was the greatest game I have ever seen, and it's extremely unlikely it'll be topped
As a Padres fan this was amazing to watch seeing the Cubs win in 2016.My Padres will make it there soon and win it all. This also gave me a smile watching this.The Baseball Gods and God knows when it's our year.Padres fans.This gave me a smile.
Yellow Flame Gaulent same thing for me and the Astros. We hope to win it soon. But yeah, seeing the Cubs win is cool.
#thelegendofthe10th
Wonder what Harry Carey's call would have been in the final out.
HOLY FUCK. THE LITTLE GREEN APPLES HAVE ARRIVED.
Great, fantastic video. Cubs fans, there are none more prouder. I'm glad that I'm one of the proudest. 😄😉👏🏼⚾️👍
Four years ago today!! I will NEVER forget that night.
exactly how the 2004 Red Sox fans felt that year, we sympathize with them now and all the other fans to come
This make me cry. Great stuff.
Know a few Cardinals fans who would chant "1908" . Fools can't chant that anymore.
Video was missing the 10th
MLB would flag it for copyright and pull it down - they are VERY strict, moreso than any other sports league.
El Profesor Daniel Franco Jr Escutia para Presidente de Morelia Michoacán México oh El Profesor Daniel Franco Jr Escutia para Presidente de Cuitzeo Del Porvenir Michoacán México el Pueblo Mágico and to get all of my wishes my new Ford Mustang Convertible dark Gray and two Million of dollars and also to go back to Cuitzeo Del Porvenir Michoacán México el Pueblo Mágico and to get all of my wishes tonight and i also have my Chicago Cubs hat on
Cub fans still have my respect
Go cubbies
Imagine going to the convent saying “sister, I really need help…”
“Shh… come back tomorrow.”
Am I missing something How did they cut the end of the game!?!?? Poorly produced. Should have shown the final inning. wtf
I was watching from outside a bar in Delray Beach fl. Alot of people became Cubs fans for that moment I know I did.
cusak did a great job
I’ve always wondered why the Cowboys are called Americas team. The Chicago Cubs are Americas team. Watch any away game and there are almost as many Cubs fans as there are fans of the home team. From Arizona to Milwaukee to Florida to New York to Texas. It doesn’t matter. Kids would come home from school to Harry Caray singing “Take Me Out To The Ballgame” when they got home. WGN created millions of Cubs fans. Just watch their championship parade. I’m not being a homer, these are all just facts. It sucks that it took that long, but it was worth the wait. My great grandma would watch games with me as a child. She was watching from Heaven in 2016, and I will never forget that feeling of the winning of the World Series!
Really enjoyed this but the video seems a bit incomplete. It cuts off abruptly at the end, I think before it's completely over, and I was really looking forward to hearing how the different fans felt in the 9th and 10th innings as Zobrist doubled in the go-ahead run, Rizzo put both hands on his head at 3rd base in disbelief, and then the Indians getting a run back in the bottom of the 10th before getting that final out. All of that seemed to be missing and I wondered if that was the fault of the documentary or the person recording it who missed a segment.
I read comments of Cubs fans getting emotional. I am an SF Giants fan and I get emotional watching this. Why? Not because the 2016 Cubs eliminated the Giants on the way to the WS. I was mad the night it happened, but now I almost feel honored that my team was a part of the Cubs historic journey. So...not crying out of anger that the Giants lost. I get emotional because I know how it feels to finally break through. I get it. Cubs fans deserved 2016 just as much if not more than Red Sox fans deserved 2004, and White Sox fans deserved 2005, and my fellow Giants fans deserved 2010. That moment when you break through and the euphoria that goes with it is only understandable if you've been through it with your team. Great documentary, and what a great team Theo and the Cubs management put together in 2016.
84 Cubs came out of nowhere...they finished last that spring in the cactus league. 2003 was the toughest for myself.
