Chicago Cubs

As a baseball fan in the Windy City, one had to tolerate a lot of mediocrity. If you followed the Cubs, you deserved a lot of pity. What kind of baseball team were the Chicago Cubs? Each season was a continuation of hapless flubs. Yes, they have had a history that is not too great. They had not won a World Series since 1908. Since then, not one season victory would the team yield as they played their home games at Wrigley Field. This year, there was an end to the stormy weather. The team finally got their entire act together. During the baseball season of 2016, hitting, pitching, and defense looked pretty keen. These boys played together like a well-oiled machine. The Cubs finished first in the Central Division. In the National League, they defeated their playoff opposition. Although it took them to a seventh game, the Cubs put the Cleveland Indians to shame. Yes, this year, the Cubs finally won it all. They are the World Series champions of baseball.
