Chicago Tribune (November 3)
“The most epic drought in sports history is over, and the Cubs are world champions. After 108 years of waiting, the Cubs won the 2016 World Series with a wild 8-7, 10-inning Game 7 victory over the Indians. The nearly five-hour roller-coaster game “was a perfect ending for a franchise that had waited forever for just one championship, and your stomach never will be the same. This is not a dream. The Cubs did it.”

“It’s been 71 years since the Cubs made it this far.” The Cubs will now move onto the World Series. “This city piled all those years of hope and expectation on the shoulders of this year’s players — and they delivered. They closed the deal Saturday night with aggressive batting and surgical, minimalist pitching…. For now, savor the present and salute a cast that, dare we say, could soon have us readying the confetti.”
