Same here, many of us shed a tear of happiness not just for ourselves, but for those before us. My Dad and especially my Grandfather were fans. Once my Grandfather retired, he never missed a game, he would put on his Cubs cap and pull a chair up in front of his TV set. I think there is a special field of dreams (a Wrigley Field)in heaven for all those fans who tirelessly and faithfully cheered them on all their lives without ever seeing them go all the way. Go Cubs go! Hey hey! and Holy Cow!
Same, it was my grandma though. She prayed for years and years for the Cubs to win and yet they never did. Still she had faith for 80 years that her beloved Cubs would go all the way. That night I rejoiced and cried buckets. As soon as Rizzo caught that ball I was in tears. I know grandma was watching from heaven.
My father went to all 7 games. As a born and raised Cubs fan and an almost 70-year-old at that time, the Cubs winning that year was one of the greatest moments in his life
I wish my dad would have seen this but sadly passed away a year before. He is what made me a Cubs fan. Sat on his lap as a little girl every time they were on. I don't live in Chicago anymore but my heart is always there. Now looking forward to their next win, which I know will happen eventually
My father passed about 10 years before the Cubs won. He was a Cub fan probably much like your father. He indoctrinated me into being a Cub fan almost at birth. I was grateful to have see them win. I cried like a baby when they won. I know a few of my tears of joy, were his from heaven.
The saddest part of this for me was that my father died 4 months before this happened. He always talked about much he loved watching teams who'd never won a championship before or who haven't won it in ages come through. Even as Mets fans, this the type of moment I loved and he would've cherished.
Jacen Roberts I’m so very sorry for the loss of your Father. I’m sure just by reading this that your father was a wonderful man. Its so obvious he raised u by leading by a fine example. Not only is your Dad happy from heaven seeing this great game he has to be the proudest Parent beyond words to read what u wrote about him. Sounds like u inherited his heart ❤️ Like your Father my Mother was such an avid loyal eagles fan it was such a sin that she passed away in 2016 missing them win the Super Bowl 😢😢. Eagles where the underdogs too. I’ll take comfort knowing that my Mom n your Dad watched it from heaven.
Came to watch this again in 2023 and man i still get teary. I remember the day after skipping school with everyone, we barely made it onto the train because it was so friggin packed. the parade was insane. it was like the 6th or 7th largest gathering of people in one area ever in the world. My friends and i phones wouldnt work and had no service due to the amount of people there. Man that was one of the best days of my life. Fly the W bb and bear down
I Cannot Imagine how happy David Ross was then, having your last game ever in your whole MLB career, being made a World Series Champion! Hats off to you man!
Who else just misses the year 2016 one of the best years of my life and I still have many more years to go and it looks like no years are going to beat 2016
2016 was a good year for me too. Not just because of this but it was overall feel good year for me. My girlfriend and I had some really great times at Wrigley and traveled to other places around the country , I had zero financial problems, I always had a decent workweek and other little things I can go on about but I definitely need another year like this. The last 3 years of the decade have been atrocious.
Right? I commented the same thing! I catch myself tensing up and getting nervous, and I have to remind myself- "Jen, it's all good. They won it all." Still feels kinda like a dream.
I wanna cry every time I watch this. My dad took me to Wrigley Field as a kid. He was a die hard Cubs fan throughout his years. Lost him cancer in '99, I know he was watching from heaven. I wish we could've watch it together down here in CUBS nation '16.
my grandma cried so hard when they won. she still has her official die hard fan club card from 1946. i’d never been really interested in baseball but my whole family watched game 7 and we all cried when they won
@@lebozojamessimp1610 we're comfortable showing our emotions in front of each other and that's okay (: its a moment that I cherish and it made my grandma happy
I remember watching game 7 in my living room, clinching my chair arm tight in those final 3 outs. Only to crumble to pieces in tears watching the team I love finally win it all
@@cobain4life07 I was absolutely heartbroken when the Indians lost this series but by no means have any hate towards the cubs. After losing game 5 and hearing those fans singing "Go Cubs Go" i had a very strong feeling that the Indians would lose this series. In my 40 years of existence on this planet this was probably the greatest world series i have ever seen. My god game 7 was an emotional rollercoaster for me.
The greatest moment of sports in my lifetime and it always will be. I enjoyed 6 NBA championships, I enjoyed the Blackhawks, the 49ers.. everything... but this was magic.
Madden pulled him out too early. I really think he was high during this game. Pulling Kyle Hendricks out too early he could’ve gotten out of the inning and the cubs would’ve had a 5-1 lead going into the 5th Overused Chapman After the Indians tied the game he let him go back on the mound in the 9th inning If he played it smart this game would’ve been 6-2 cubs but at the end of the day the cubs won this and that’s all the matters to me
@@gocubbies6577 also shouldn’t have played him with a huge lead in game 6 as he almost injured an ankle and was tired for game 7 joe maddon became joe madman that game
@@gocubbies6577 I totally agree. Hendricks had best ERA in National League. Give him a chance to get out of inning! If he gives up another hit or two or walk, I understand pulling him. That walk that got Hendricks pulled could easily have been a strike out. Final pitch was very close. I'm not upset with umpire. He had a tight strike zone all night for both teams. As soon as Cubs acquired Chapman, Maddon would frequently bring him in in 8th inning. It's like Maddon had a new toy and couldn't put it down. He brought Chapman in eighth inning against both Giants and Dodgers in NL playoffs. It didn't work well either time. The game either was tied or opposition(Giants) took lead. Giants would eventually win game, extending series, while in game 1 of NLCS Cubs hitters would bail Maddon out with 5 run rally in 8th. The players saved Maddon's but again in world series again with their clutch hitting. When Chapman went out to pitch bottom of ninth, I thought I was going to see Mazoroski 2, but Chapman, to his credit managed to retire Cleveland in order. Thankfully Chapman wasn't sent out to pitch the 10th.
I failed to mention that Maddon also brought Chapman in with 1 out in eighth of deciding game 6 with Cubs up 5-0. Hendricks gave up 1 out single after retiring about 20 in a row, give or take a couple. It worked that time, other than more needless wear and tear on Chapman. He promptly got out of eighth with a double play. He faced only 3 batters in ninth, thanks to game ending double play after 1 out walk. Dodgers sent only 27 batters to the plate. All their baserunners were either eliminated in double plays or picked off. They got only 2 hits. Still Maddon pulled Hendricks in eighth. I wonder if that was only second time in post season history a team sent minimum number of batters to plate. The other time, of course, was Larsen's perfect game in 1956 World Series. The late Roy Halladay pitch a no hitter in 2010 playoffs, but I think he allowed a few baserunners.
Watching this video 5 years later after Bryant, Rizzo and Baez just got sold, hits differently… they are and always will be true legends of the Chicago Cubs!
This was THE greatest baseball game in mankind's history. No matter who you like or dislike, this game 7 was the most pure form of motivation, sweat, perseverance, talent, and hope in any baseball game ever. Unreal
I've watched this a dozen times. I cry every time. I have loved my Cubs since 1975. Wrigley Field isn't just the Friendly Confines: it's home. The Cubs aren't the Loveable Losers; they are America's team. My grandfather was a Cubs fan. My Dad is a Cubs fan. I am a Cubs fan. For life. Forever. Ron Santo. Fergie Jenkins. Billie Williams. My Cubs. My team.
Every single series, NLDS, NLCS, WS. Man all of them were so intense and the late game moments and clutch home runs, in my opinion, best Postseason ever.
One of the best years of my life was 2016. This is one of the reasons why it was so good. No World Series will ever top this one. Pure passion and true love for the game.
I've been watching the Cubs on WGN while living in Florida most of my life. From about 5 years old. I have been a huge Cubs fan ever since. This documentary is Superbly done!!! Great Job!!! Co Cubbies!!!!!😊
April 24, 2020 And i still get chills to this day hearing “The cubs win the World Series, Bryant makes the play it’s over and the cubs have finally won it all 8-7 in 10”
Watching it one week before Opening Day 2024, STILL getting chills, STILL shedding tears at this supremely joyful moment we all shared as fans of the CUBBIES!
As a Jays fan, I remember rooting for the Cubs to win the WS. I remember when Bryant made that play. When Rizzo Caught it. I think we were all Cubs fans that day
Been a fan forever and a day. My dad was a fan. My sweet dad passed away 6 years before and missed it. I believe the man was cheering his butt off up in heaven.
Both were in the same year, I just realized that. Super Bowl 50 was in February, Cubs' historical win was in October. Pretty wild. #FlyTheW I was literally in Chicago visiting family when we won Game 7. I pushed back my flight back to Florida (I currently live in Jacksonville) so I could stay for the parade. Best sports moment. EVER.
MANCHESTER UNITED F.C your point? No one in America cares about soccer and by your user name you would think you know it scaled football everywhere but the United States of America🇺🇸🇺🇸
As a die-hard Cubs fan, it still gives me goosebumps till this day to watch this, my uncle and Grandpa were Cubs fans, they passed away and never got to see this but I do believe they were here in the spirit to help us win our first world series in 108 years
I went to 2 games. Im a life long Cubs fan. Never thought I'd see the day after 2007. The series was amazing. Greatest ive watched. And my Cubs finally won it in dramatic fashion
Even as a brewer fan, i was extremely happy to see the Cubs win this. This series was the only time, and will probably be THE only time I’ll root for the Cubs. Congrats on your big win Cubs!
What a year 2016 was for sports, my cubbies ended the 108 year drought, Lebron won the Cavs their first title after being down 3-1, Peyton manning won the Super Bowl and walked off into the sunset, Kobe Bryant put up 60 points in his final game before retiring. Just to name a few there will never be another year in sports like 2016.
Then also in that following NFL season after Peyton Manning went out then Tom Brady and the Patriots pulled off the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history down 25 points.
I watch this when I need to remind myself how fast life is and can be taken from you in a instant. I am one of the biggest cubs fans you'd ever meet. I just had my son March 13, 2016 and I am a combat vet and I had a bad problem, an opiate issue and failing the ones around me. I was at my 2nd rehab when the cubs were in the world series, I remember being the only one up when that last ball was hit by Martinez and Bryant slipped and threw a pee and Rizzo caught the ball and put it in his back pocket! These grown men jumping around like a bunch of kids! I was crying by myself on a step in Florida. My ex wife was at home with my son and I was miles away not understanding life! I was asking myself how did I end up here? I didn't have an answer, best day of my life is the birth of my son and Nov 2, 2016 I believe the day they won it! God sometimes I don't have faith or believe or understand life but this reminds me how real it is! This team change my life in way I can't even put into words.
You did put it into words. And very nicely, too. I'll pray for you, Justin. God loves all of us. As a father, sports fan and former Army reservist, I really hope that you're in a better place. God be with you, brother.
This was my introduction into baseball and I couldn't have picked a better time to start watching than when this series happened. I'm still shocked at how intense it still is! I get shivers everytime
Hard not to shed a tear for this team man to comeback 3-1 and when it all was unbelievable to watch and to think for over 100 years they finally did it wow what a series man
I'm from Chi. Town . Not only did we win but that was the most exciting game and win . I'll never forget that as long as I live . I'm 74 now so I waited a long time . Been to Wrigley and met and seen many of the players . We all prayed for this to be the year and it was answered . The Cubbies put on a special show . my dad was a Cub fan all his life . He died in August 2016 but I know he was there watching the Cubs Win . He was 91 .
I still never forget the day watching that magical moment with my sister at our college in her dorm room. And the celebration began on the strike of my 19th birthday. It's something I'll remember until the end of time.
As a Cleveland fan I was sad to see them lose that world series but big big congratulations to the Cubs! If the Cubs can eventually win the world series I hope Cleveland can win the world series too!
Had school the next day--history teacher abhorred the Cubs (don't know why considering he's a Red Sox fan but even then--the Cardinals rooted for the Cubs to win) my dad woke me up in the middle of the night to tell me they won. My response? "Are you shitting me?" There's a reason why nobody talks about the 2003 WS run--and this is it.
I still watch this to this day and cry...I am naturally a royals fan and the video you did for their world series run makes me weep...but this...this is just crying from joy for this team...they deserved it more than anything!
I keep telling my friends that I will live off of the excitement from that World Series championship until the day I die. I mean I heard stories of sons going to the graveyard to visit their dad's headstone and listening to the game on radio just on the off chance that somehow their dad could hear it because they both shared a love of the Cubs. I find myself watching this over and over just to remember the excitement of the Cubs winning in such an epic way.
“You would never say this in a regular season game in the 4th inning of a one nothing deficit, but the cubs have to score here….you’ve got to put something on the board right here” famous words that led one of the greatest comebacks in baseball history
Thank you for letting me relive this moment in time. Thank you this was the greatest moment of my life. I'm in tears right now I still cant believe we won the world series. Thank you for this
really..? an organization who are perennial contenders who come up short more often than not deserve to win it...that's anything but the Cubs...in the last 60 years the Cubs have the most losses in all of baseball...Cubs are historically a crappy organization, who get waaaay too much media attention...the "lovable loser" tag is nothing to be proud of
Big New York Yankees and Big Boston Red Sox fans…you simply cannot deny this was the greatest World Series win you have ever witnessed with your very own eyes. What you were watching was God at work granting a people that was starving and dealing with too much pain praying to just wanting to taste what Victory feels like. That right there what we witnessed MUST be carried and tucked into the side of your heart as a reminder of what sweet and beautiful victory that us as humans strive for day after day. These blue Cubbies so young in their life worked tirelessly trying to reach the peak and in that day by the GRACE of THE ALMIGHTY have visited. We are blessed to have witnessed it 😢
I'll never forget this night, my wife and I ended up in a dive bar in northside. I never seen so many old men in tears. No other moment in sports compares to it.
CLEVELAND FAN HERE GOOSEBUMPS THROUGH THE WHOLE VIDEO BEST WORLD SERIES IN BASEBALL HISTORY IT WAS SPECIAL TWO TEAMS WITH LONG DROUGHTS UNFORTUNATELY ONLY ONE TEAM HAD TO WIN IT ALL IDK WHY BUT I LOVE WRIGLEY FIELD IT WAS SO COOL TO WATCH THESE TWO TEAMS PLAY EACH OTHER AT WRIGLEY GREAT VIDEO
Ive said this since the 2016 WS: obviously I'd love to see my Cubbies win it all again.... but i would love to see the Indians get one. That '16 team was so damn good, top to bottom, so much heart. They played their butts off. And the fans i encountered were classy and all were sportsmen. So, believe me when i say, i pull for y'all. Such a deserving team.
@bumblebee optimus prime here Baez ,Rizzo, Schwarber, Zobrist, Contreras, Lester, Hendricks, Bryant, Ross if you count as a manager, Almora Jr, Heyward and Heyward
the Cubs' triumph in the 2016 World Series was a momentous occasion that transcended sports and brought joy to fans around the world. It will forever be remembered as a landmark achievement in the storied history of the Chicago Cubs franchise.
I cried like a baby. I looked to the sky and said grandma they did it. I just pictured her jumping up and down smiling. I hadn't felt that close to her since she passed in 2002. This win ment more to people then you know. It wasn't just a game. It was a connection to every cubs fan in the world, alive or passed on. ❤
Buck’s call in Game 7. Man. I felt like I was back in my living room with my family. Celebrating like.. like... like the Cubs finally won the World Series ❤️💙❤️💙 very well edited
I broke into tears as well! I’m 63 and been a die hard Cubs fan all my life!! Lived in Chicago when I was young from 1964-69 and used to go to Wednesday games with my Dad and Mom . Wrigley is a special place!
this is such an awesome video!!!!! I still can't believe the Cubs are world series champions!!!! I've been a Cubs fan since 1989 and this was one of the best world series in the history of major league baseball!!!!! Chicago Cubs nation for life!!!!! Chicago Bulls nation for life!!!!! 😃😃😃😃😃
broke into tears watching them win. my whole life my grandpa rooted for this team, i know he lost his absolute mind in heaven when they won!!!!!!

Heaven isn’t real
Yes, your pops is up there 👆 he was in his living room watching on his TV, he was looking down, sure was, sry for ur loss...
My father went to all 7 games. As a born and raised Cubs fan and an almost 70-year-old at that time, the Cubs winning that year was one of the greatest moments in his life
I wish my dad would have seen this but sadly passed away a year before. He is what made me a Cubs fan. Sat on his lap as a little girl every time they were on. I don't live in Chicago anymore but my heart is always there. Now looking forward to their next win, which I know will happen eventually
That warms my heart!!
My father passed about 10 years before the Cubs won. He was a Cub fan probably much like your father. He indoctrinated me into being a Cub fan almost at birth. I was grateful to have see them win. I cried like a baby when they won. I know a few of my tears of joy, were his from heaven.
Mucho dinero$$
I was 46 in 2016 and this nearly killed me. I'm glad he survived it, and I'm not kidding.
How amazing he got to witness that....truly amazing.
In 50 years, this team's story will become a movie.
Wayyyy Less than that
If they don't make one Hollywood needs to be nuked
Just as long as they don't call it a miracle. This was not a miracle. It was a fait accompli.
Ya it will be movie one day
They announced a movie right after it happened but it never ended being made
Can you imagine David Ross what a special day last game before his retirement and wins a world series must of felt good.
Colton Van De Walle and now he’s are manager
And got a home run
Ya I’m a Astro’s fan but if they weren’t a team I would switch to cubs
Ryguy35 1.0 you’re a fan of those cheaters? SMH 🤦♂️

Came to watch this again in 2023 and man i still get teary.

I'm a Yankees fan, but it also gives me chills when Cubs was about to lose but they didn't. They actually won the 2016 WS
Game 7 of the 2016 WS was quite possibly the best game ever in baseball history.
1991 Game 7 would like to have a chat.

I've watched this a dozen times. I cry every time. I have loved my Cubs since 1975. Wrigley Field isn't just the Friendly Confines: it's home. The Cubs aren't the Loveable Losers; they are America's team. My grandfather was a Cubs fan. My Dad is a Cubs fan. I am a Cubs fan. For life. Forever. Ron Santo. Fergie Jenkins. Billie Williams. My Cubs. My team.
im a red sox fan but i like the cubs
I’m a dodger fan because I have an favorite baseball player it is Cody belinger

Best 27:03 I've spent this entire year. That was such an awesome World Series. Still hits me in the feels. Go Cubbies!
One of the best World Series I’ve ever watched. The Cubs and the fans deserved this.
Andrew Bova brewers suck lol

Andrew Bova sounds like somebody’s mad
As a NY Met Fan wishing this for my Team Again, I just love the Passion this Cubs Team had in this series! They never Gave Up Well Deserved!!!

i remember pacing my living room hours watching game 7
I was hoarse the next day!!!!!!
I pace when watching games too lol
I was sleeping and I didn’t wake up when people were screaming and running down the street
Same
I had school the next day but I just couldn't bring myself to go to bed and I was so happy to see that play
if they make a movie of this (id be there opening night!), the title should just simply be "108"
Or "Breaking The Curse"
And Have The Cubs Players Star In The Movie As Themselves
Or Go Cubs Go!
THEY NEED TO!!
Fever pitch 2
I'm from MALAYSIA. My grandpa loved and rooted this team in whole life. I know he still smile right now 😊
I live in Chicago and watched every game on my tv it was stressful. And I broke my iPad when they won.
James Althoff you sacrificed the iPad for the win
Gustly 101 yup
Wait so you wanted Indians to win?
Stevie Lil Yadi Acevedo no I was stressed cause I was scared they would lose
Hahahahah
Still tear up watching this. Remember the feeling in 1984, and to see this in my lifetime, what a dream come true. Thanks Cubbies!
As a tigers fan for life, one of the best seasons in the tigers franchise or for any team was The Roar Of 84.
Every single series, NLDS, NLCS, WS. Man all of them were so intense and the late game moments and clutch home runs, in my opinion, best Postseason ever.
12:07 "You've got to put something on the board right here"
12:10 Kris Bryant: "Hold my beer..."

Hell yeah gimme dat beer woohoo

to think he was batting .67 1-15 and hit a hr is pretty funny
haha, exactly my thought!
You will lose many many times, but you will succeed at the end.

There are still many more games for the cubs to choke, like that game 163

@Justice Rathje Im not the one salt replying to a comment made 5 MONTHS AGO
One of the best years of my life was 2016. This is one of the reasons why it was so good. No World Series will ever top this one. Pure passion and true love for the game.
i don’t even watch baseball this shit is just inspiring
In 2016 everyone just watched baseball at least the cubs in particular cuz it’s been 108 years
It's the best thing ever...
same
i dont even watch sports
One of the most beautiful World Series all time , Cubs you deserve this beautiful beautiful
I've been watching the Cubs on WGN while living in Florida most of my life. From about 5 years old. I have been a huge Cubs fan ever since. This documentary is Superbly done!!! Great Job!!! Co Cubbies!!!!!😊
April 24, 2020 And i still get chills to this day hearing “The cubs win the World Series, Bryant makes the play it’s over and the cubs have finally won it all 8-7 in 10”
Watching it one week before Opening Day 2024, STILL getting chills, STILL shedding tears at this supremely joyful moment we all shared as fans of the CUBBIES!

I was still a white Sox fan so no, it’s not disrespectful.
As a Jays fan, I remember rooting for the Cubs to win the WS. I remember when Bryant made that play. When Rizzo Caught it. I think we were all Cubs fans that day
Been a fan forever and a day. My dad was a fan. My sweet dad passed away 6 years before and missed it. I believe the man was cheering his butt off up in heaven.
Melissa Krueger RIP
David Ross is like the Peyton manning of baseball because he won his last game as the championship
Tyler Leyden that is something not many can say and damn he retired in style
@@jaredchacon2645 True, and not only in baseball, but in any major sport.
Both were in the same year, I just realized that. Super Bowl 50 was in February, Cubs' historical win was in October. Pretty wild. #FlyTheW I was literally in Chicago visiting family when we won Game 7. I pushed back my flight back to Florida (I currently live in Jacksonville) so I could stay for the parade. Best sports moment. EVER.
@MANCHESTER UNITED you wanna stop spamming and secondly nobody in america cares about soccer
MANCHESTER UNITED F.C your point? No one in America cares about soccer and by your user name you would think you know it scaled football everywhere but the United States of America🇺🇸🇺🇸
As a die-hard Cubs fan, it still gives me goosebumps till this day to watch this, my uncle and Grandpa were Cubs fans, they passed away and never got to see this but I do believe they were here in the spirit to help us win our first world series in 108 years
I went to 2 games. Im a life long Cubs fan. Never thought I'd see the day after 2007. The series was amazing. Greatest ive watched. And my Cubs finally won it in dramatic fashion
God this is amazing but holy shit Rizzo and Bryant were on like every play
they are best friends
1122 gangs Montages rizzo,Ryan,bryant,and Zobrist are my fav players on the cubs
Of course rizzo will be in every play he’s a first baseman!
zobrist went off
Even as a brewer fan, i was extremely happy to see the Cubs win this. This series was the only time, and will probably be THE only time I’ll root for the Cubs. Congrats on your big win Cubs!
a true nice brewers fan and i know its been 3 years since you posted this but its fine
I'm no Cubs fan but watching them win the world series was pretty cool
I am a Indians fan and ngl I cried my eyes out when the Cubs won
"Makes the play. THE CUBS HAVE FINALLY WON IT ALL"
Still gives me the chills, words I'll never forget, I'm a jays fan and I'm happy for the cubbies
Jays fan here too! It was great watching the Cubs win
Braves fan here...i tip my hat and salute the cubs...curse of the 🐐 is over...
19:04 that guy is living every young boy and grown man's dream.
Who’s here after the Nats win, to simply relive one of the greatest comebacks in WS history.
Me. The Nats comeback was pretty cool too.
kierston johnson not as good as the cubs tho! everyone loves a good underdog story though
Itz Ashh! Not as awesome as the Red Sox in 2004
Hype Sports 15 not a ws tho
Itz Ashh! So they still won ws after
I can’t express the feeling of joy I felt that night. Every time I watch this it’s like an emotional tidal wave. #cubsforever
this takes the crown for the best moment in Chicago sports history.
Single best baseball video on the internet. Flawless editing, music and collection of highlights. This is superb. Kudos.
The rain delay, just when it looked like Cleveland was taking control of the game , was something divine. I got nervous and chills all over again!
What a year 2016 was for sports, my cubbies ended the 108 year drought, Lebron won the Cavs their first title after being down 3-1, Peyton manning won the Super Bowl and walked off into the sunset, Kobe Bryant put up 60 points in his final game before retiring. Just to name a few there will never be another year in sports like 2016.
Then also in that following NFL season after Peyton Manning went out then Tom Brady and the Patriots pulled off the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history down 25 points.
Don't forget Leicester City winning the Premier League!
I watch this when I need to remind myself how fast life is and can be taken from you in a instant. I am one of the biggest cubs fans you'd ever meet. I just had my son March 13, 2016 and I am a combat vet and I had a bad problem, an opiate issue and failing the ones around me. I was at my 2nd rehab when the cubs were in the world series, I remember being the only one up when that last ball was hit by Martinez and Bryant slipped and threw a pee and Rizzo caught the ball and put it in his back pocket! These grown men jumping around like a bunch of kids! I was crying by myself on a step in Florida. My ex wife was at home with my son and I was miles away not understanding life! I was asking myself how did I end up here? I didn't have an answer, best day of my life is the birth of my son and Nov 2, 2016 I believe the day they won it! God sometimes I don't have faith or believe or understand life but this reminds me how real it is! This team change my life in way I can't even put into words.
I remember being at work taking breaks to watch game 7. Time is flying.
You did put it into words. And very nicely, too. I'll pray for you, Justin. God loves all of us. As a father, sports fan and former Army reservist, I really hope that you're in a better place. God be with you, brother.
Maddon got fired this weekend so I had to re-visit this happy moment in Cubs history.
This was my introduction into baseball and I couldn't have picked a better time to start watching than when this series happened. I'm still shocked at how intense it still is! I get shivers everytime
Hard not to shed a tear for this team man to comeback 3-1 and when it all was unbelievable to watch and to think for over 100 years they finally did it wow what a series man
Still get chills from this, so happy I got to see them win🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
I'm from Chi. Town . Not only did we win but that was the most exciting game and win . I'll never forget that as long as I live . I'm 74 now so I waited a long time . Been to Wrigley and met and seen many of the players . We all prayed for this to be the year and it was answered . The Cubbies put on a special show . my dad was a Cub fan all his life . He died in August 2016 but I know he was there watching the Cubs Win . He was 91 .
The Greatest sports comeback of all time!

Gives me chills to this day, 108 years. It’s over. Fly the W
I still never forget the day watching that magical moment with my sister at our college in her dorm room. And the celebration began on the strike of my 19th birthday. It's something I'll remember until the end of time.
The fairytale ending that you get in all the baseball movies in real life. 4 years later I still get chills!
This whole series put me on the edge of my seat it's what I love about baseball
As a Cleveland fan I was sad to see them lose that world series but big big congratulations to the Cubs! If the Cubs can eventually win the world series I hope Cleveland can win the world series too!
The Indians will never win another WS sadly... especially since they were forced to change names...
I respect the indians
Ay at least Cavs won 2016 nba finals
I’m a cubs fan but I believe the “Guardians” will win a WS
This will always be one of the greatest moments in my life as a cubs fan. I still get excited watching this
Had school the next day--history teacher abhorred the Cubs (don't know why considering he's a Red Sox fan but even then--the Cardinals rooted for the Cubs to win) my dad woke me up in the middle of the night to tell me they won. My response? "Are you shitting me?" There's a reason why nobody talks about the 2003 WS run--and this is it.
Hats off to Cubs. I’m an Astros fan, but I have much respect for the Cubs.
GotchaBitchLasagna !!! Today, memorial day 2019 the astros beat the cubs 6-5
Royals / Giants fan here, the only World Series I was more into was 2015.
A 3-1 is really a big win..
Marcos Robles yeah I’ll look 4-1 that is a bigger win. Hopefully I’ll find it.
TTV Ur Mom win Ku again this year please!! Tomorrow night y’all have to win!
I’m a royals fan and this moment made me tear up just because they worked so hard for it and finally after years of dry seasons they did it
I still watch this to this day and cry...I am naturally a royals fan and the video you did for their world series run makes me weep...but this...this is just crying from joy for this team...they deserved it more than anything!
Amber Smith thanks man from Chicago with love 💪
We appreciate you (cubs fan)
Can’t believe I was there for Game 7! One of the best days of my life! 🧢⚾️🐻🏆
I keep telling my friends that I will live off of the excitement from that World Series championship until the day I die. I mean I heard stories of sons going to the graveyard to visit their dad's headstone and listening to the game on radio just on the off chance that somehow their dad could hear it because they both shared a love of the Cubs. I find myself watching this over and over just to remember the excitement of the Cubs winning in such an epic way.
I wish I could live this moment one more time at home watching this
Me too bro
I wanna say thank you cubs. You guys are giving me hope that the dodgers can comeback from down 3-1
They did
“You would never say this in a regular season game in the 4th inning of a one nothing deficit, but the cubs have to score here….you’ve got to put something on the board right here” famous words that led one of the greatest comebacks in baseball history
Thank you for letting me relive this moment in time. Thank you this was the greatest moment of my life. I'm in tears right now I still cant believe we won the world series. Thank you for this
The Cubs deserved this so much. GO CUBBIES!
Crazypotatoe 123 cub fans deserved it more.
really..? an organization who are perennial contenders who come up short more often than not deserve to win it...that's anything but the Cubs...in the last 60 years the Cubs have the most losses in all of baseball...Cubs are historically a crappy organization, who get waaaay too much media attention...the "lovable loser" tag is nothing to be proud of

Big New York Yankees and Big Boston Red Sox fans…you simply cannot deny this was the greatest World Series win you have ever witnessed with your very own eyes. What you were watching was God at work granting a people that was starving and dealing with too much pain praying to just wanting to taste what Victory feels like. That right there what we witnessed MUST be carried and tucked into the side of your heart as a reminder of what sweet and beautiful victory that us as humans strive for day after day. These blue Cubbies so young in their life worked tirelessly trying to reach the peak and in that day by the GRACE of THE ALMIGHTY have visited. We are blessed to have witnessed it 😢
the Cubs are undefeated in November
Thank you! Die Hard Cubs fan here... and even nearly a month later this brings tears to my eyes..

Ive said this since the 2016 WS: obviously I'd love to see my Cubbies win it all again.... but i would love to see the Indians get one. That '16 team was so damn good, top to bottom, so much heart. They played their butts off. And the fans i encountered were classy and all were sportsmen. So, believe me when i say, i pull for y'all. Such a deserving team.
The memories this brings back 🔥
Watched this WS since both teams were storied franchises. One of the best ever played
A moment in history that will never be forgotten, GO CUBS!!!

the Cubs' triumph in the 2016 World Series was a momentous occasion that transcended sports and brought joy to fans around the world. It will forever be remembered as a landmark achievement in the storied history of the Chicago Cubs franchise.
I cried like a baby. I looked to the sky and said grandma they did it. I just pictured her jumping up and down smiling. I hadn't felt that close to her since she passed in 2002. This win ment more to people then you know. It wasn't just a game. It was a connection to every cubs fan in the world, alive or passed on. ❤
My whole fam cried when the cubs won. I’m from Chicago and I love the cubs. Hope they win again.
My dad cried when this happened. After 40+ years of my dad supporting the Cubs and them finally winning
