Opinion: Why America needed this Cubs win - CNN.com

I'm your typical American citizen in the month of November in the year 2016, trying to hang on as this awful presidential election&#8212;historic by all measures of irredeemable awfulness&#8212;sucks out every ounce of my contaminated soul.



In other words ...

Thank God for the Chicago Cubs.

Seriously&#8212;thank God.

sounds ridiculous. I get it. But in 44 years of life, never have I (or, I believe, this nation) been more desperate for a narrative like we just saw in the 112th Fall Classic. We are a battered people, and the Cubs&#8212;who had gone without a World Series title since (let's say it one last time) nineteen ... oh ... eight&#8212;are, beyond all else, optimism.

I'm a Cardinals fan, as far as baseball goes, but I was genuinely happy about the Cubs winning last night and this video explains why. Those fans felt the exact same thing we all did just a few years ago when the Saints won the Super Bowl. Watching this video, it almost felt like I was part of that crowd celebrating with them, experiencing their joy. Plus, splicing in the Harry Caray bits just made it that much better. Fantastic stuff!

Guy Drove 600 Miles To Listen To Cubs Win With His Father At His Grave, Keeping His Promise (Video) | Total Pro Sports

Wayne Williams, a devout Cubs fan, wanted to share this experience with his father who passed away, so he drove 600 miles to his gravesite and listened to the Cubs win in extra innings with his dad by his side, just like they did when he was alive.

Not much of a baseball fan but loved this story. Excuse me for a few minutes, I have some dust in my eyes.
