Thats because this is the time when sports trumps politics. It might be my favorite day ever doing the show. Cubs. Thats your team, right . I spent six years there. Two of my children were born there. Fans were celebrating their big win. The Team World Series bound outside Wrigley Field, the sign that says National League champions champions. Champagne showers as players celebrated and in the clubhouse as well. I stayed up for this game and got three hours of sleep but im pretty sure people in chicago still arent sleeping. Im sure. The headline from the Chicago Tribune. Got their goat, a reference to the curse. 70 years since theyve been there and more than a century since they won one and alex perez is outside Wrigley Field with more on this historic win. This is your hometown. Reporter thats right, good morning, tom, good morning, paula. I grew in up city and weve been waiting much longer than ive been alive for this moment. The energy from the crowds here been a long time coming. On the field and in the streets. The city knows how to have fun. Chicago is celebrating a historic night after 71 years of painful disappointment, Wrigley Field is flying the w as the cubs head to the world series.

Reporter as much as we want to celebrate the truth is the next challenge is right around the corner, game one of the world series tuesday night versus the cleveland indians. The indians havent been at the series since 1997 so, paula and tom, ill take a moment to do something i probably wanted to do a long time ago so who knows when its going to happen again so i want to do it now. Dont hold your breath. Its a long time coming. My lucky hat. Thank you so much. Process this because the last time they were in the world series a lot of people werent even alive. I love this tweet from john cusack. He said its very hard to describe what it feels like cubs fans. Help me out. Youre asking me to describe the indescribable. The last time they were there, 1945, there was no moving video of the game. The game was not televised. What she showed in the Chicago Tribune headlins before there was a Los Angeles Dodgers or new york mets or any number of teams in the league. Thats how far back this guess and the ticket prices, about 6 or so. 6 bucks. Now you cant get into wrigley next week for anything less than 2,000. Wow. So theres a little bit of a bias with alex and paula for the cubs but a big year for the indians as well. If it wasnt for chicago wed be talking about cleveland.

No doubt theres a lot of good things happening in cleveland. The two longest franchises for droughts rather for these particular franchises, won 103 games this year. The best team in baseball but its almost like a movie but even in the movies back to the future and major league took the sequel for both to get their world series appearance, amazing. I love what you said earlier, first time the cubs will be in the world series. On a live broadcast, live tv broadcast. Been a long time. Well be able to watch history. Tony reali, thank you so much.
