Last night’s experience was obviously special in ways almost too innumerable to count, but I wanted to say up front that one of the biggest reasons it was so special is because of what you all have allowed me to do with Bleacher Nation. I would have always been a Cubs fan, and maybe I would have even been at that game. But the feelings attached to being there and sharing that experience with all of you … it just made it different in a really powerful way. It’s an honor and a privilege to get to do these things professionally, and I just want to thank you all again for making it happen.
I also want to thank the many BN’ers I saw yesterday before, during, and after the game – that was incredible. Getting to share those hugs and high-fives in the moment with folks who are part of our community? My God, there is just so much I’m going to take away from that day. Forever.

The Wife was not able to be at Wrigley Field for last night’s win because she was with our kiddos, helping in the most fundamental way to support our family and my dream of being at a game like that. I am beyond grateful to her (I mean that literally – “grateful” doesn’t quite do the job, because I couldn’t do any of this without her).
Speaking of which: clinching in Game Six means that I get to head home to my family a day earlier than I might have otherwise, so I’m going to hit the road very soon. There’s going to be so much more to get into in the two days before the World Series begins. If you don’t see something in the Bullets today, it’s probably coming at some point soon.

Clayton Kershaw has allowed the @Cubs to hit 4 balls 105 MPH+… That's the most he's ever given up in a game.

How appropriate that the first Cub to play in the WS will be a black man (Dexter Fowler) – they weren't even allowed to play the last time.
