In 2016, the Chicago Cubs won the World Series after 108 years of waiting. The Cubs had a curse named, “the Billy Goat curse” that lasted 71 years. There were some Cubs fans that died and never got to see a World Series win for the Cubs. The Cubs faced the Cleveland Indians In a seven game series (which means first to four wins) in game seven of the World Series. Kris Bryant made the last play when he fielded the ball and threw it to first base.  It was then that the Cubs had a World Series title after 108 years. Anthony Rizzo, the first baseman, put the ball in his pocket after the play.  The Cubs players celebrated by spraying each other with champagne.
