You can’t let today go by without celebrating – multiple times – the five-year anniversary of the Chicago Cubs’ 2016 World Series title. They topped the Cleveland Indians on this night five years ago in what might’ve been the best Game 7 ever, and you remember all the beats. Dex’s lead-off homer. KB running wild. Javy’s dinger. Hendricks not getting the call. Lester in relief. Ross’s dinger. The dang Davis dinger. The rain. ZOBRIST’S DOUBLE. Miggy’s insurance. The slip. The throw. The unbelievable feeling.
If you want to enjoy the day more, here’s a handful of visual feasts, including the ENTIRE GAME if you want to go really nuts and watch tonight:
