Baseball is the one sport in which we don't have a "hometown" team we cheer for. Can't root for the Marlins under Jeff Loria. Won't go to a game with him owning them. However, we went to game two of the NLDS, Cubs 5, SF 2. From that point we were hoping they'd do it, once our favorite team was out of it. Wrigley and the Cubs fans was an incredible experience. First, Theo Epstein brought the Red Sox and championship, and now the Cubs. Have to give credit to Joe Maddon too. They didn't win the series but he got the Tampa Bay Rays into it. Then in the darkness of the night, Theo stole him away.
Game 7 is being called the greatest game 7 ever. I don't know about that but it was special. The excitement in both cities. The comeback by Cleveland. The rain delay, and the Cubs doing it in extra innings. One of the few times ever that a baseball game, even a World Series game, was watched by more fans than an NFL game on at the same time.
I'm very happy for all the loyal Cubs fans.
