Bryant picks it up, smiling ear to ear, the throw to first, Anthony Rizzo explodes into tears. Joe Buck is almost caught cheering in the press box, when joy creeps into the way he says “Cubs win the world series”. Can you believe it, Can you? 1908 my god 1908 over 100 years of misery, all ended in one glorious night in Cleveland Ohio.
Game 7s are special but this one should simply be called game 7. If someone says remember game 7 in 10 years everyone will remember. Remember how they watched with bated breath as the Indians looked to be finished, How Cleveland took a collective sigh of relief after the tied the game at 6 in the eighth. Finally they’ll remember Zoebrist to Rizzo and that folks, is history.
Sports truly are the best drama.
Good night Chicago, sleep well.
The curse of the Billy goat is
Over
