Chicago Cubs Win 2016 World Series
The Curse is Dead
108 Years of Waiting Ends
The Chicago Cubs have finally won the World Series, breaking a 108-year drought that had become one of the most famous curses in sports.
The Cubs defeated the Cleveland Indians 8-7 in 10 innings in Game 7 on Wednesday night at Progressive Field in Cleveland.
Addison Russell had a huge night for the Cubs, driving in six runs, including a go-ahead single in the top of the 10th inning.
The victory was the Cubs' first World Series championship since 1908.
The Cubs had been to the World Series three times since then, but they had lost each time, most recently in 1945.
The Cubs' victory is a storybook ending for a team that has long been known for its heartbreak.
The Cubs' victory is also a victory for the city of Chicago, which has long been waiting for its beloved team to win a championship.
