Cubs won it all a decade ago today. Ending a 108 year drought.

Where were you when this happened? Cubs fan or not, probably one of the best moments in MLB history.

Does it seem like a decade ago or more recent?

Doesn’t seem that long ago.

That was a good stretch for me. Royals, Cubs, Astros.

Watching on TV with my son with a tear in my eye.

Was a latchkey kid in the 80s so when I got home in the afternoons, it was the Cubs on WGN (this was before they added lights, so all of their home games were in the afternoon). Listening to Harry and Steve while doing homework watching Ryno and Andre Dawson held a special place for me. So happy they won.

In a bar in Little Rock for work getting texts from all my insufferable Cubs fans friends from the Midwest about a dumb sport like baseball.

I wanted them to win v. The Marlins, but the shite done to Bartman by their fans made me want the Cubs to always be the bum franchise. Though Dusty Baker was the class act he is in pointing out all the dumb shite his players did to lose that game and series. Their fans were comically awful to that guy, who was likely one of the biggest real Cubs fans in the ballpark that night.

Damn, they already on a 10 year drought. Feels like yesterday they snapped their streak.

Maybe they go another 100 years without a World Series title.

Watching in my living room. As an Indians fan, it was pretty devastating to lose another G7 in extras. That Rajai Davis HR off Chapman might be the biggest homer ever that will be forgotten. I’ve resided myself to the fact that Cleveland won’t ever win in my lifetime, and that’s cool.

Deeply disappointed that Cleveland choked. All because their ace decided to play with a drone before the World Series.

A soul crushing, demoralizing loss for the Indians.

Yep, for us Nola folk, our MLB tv options were Cubs or Braves. We didn’t regularly get Astros games until later on. And bc of Harry, the Cubs games were way better to watch than the Braves.

When BR first got cable, Astros Houston station was one of the channels. Then the Superstition (TBS - Braves) replaced it in the late 70s and WGN was added in the early 80s.

Did y'all get WOR in Louisiana? They aired Mets games with Tim McCarver.
WGN would also occasionally air White Sox games at night.

KMOX 1120AM is how a lot of people across the country became Cardinals fans.
