The city of Chicago wasn’t quite lacking in the Championship department. Jordan and Bulls brought home 6 trophies in the 90s, the Blackhawks won three Stanley Cups over the last seven years, the Bears won their first and only Superbowl in 1986, and even the White Sox took it all just over a decade ago.
Cubs fans haven’t had the opportunity to bask in the euphoria of championship glory since 1908. Disappointment was the norm and empty hopes of “someday” populated the Wrigley Field seats season after season.
Tonight, “someday” became “today”. The Cubs came back from an improbable 3-1 deficit against the mighty Cleveland Indians and erased 108 years of falling short (whether it be by an inch or a mile). Nike is joining the city of Chicago in celebration with an innocent portrayal of a young Cubs fans pretending to win it all. Well, there’s no need to pretend anymore.
