MESA, Ariz. -- Debbie Palmer is a Cubs fan who lives in San Francisco. When she heard that the World Series trophy was coming to Mesa, she realized that was as far west as it would be. So she left home at 1:20 a.m. PT and drove 13 hours straight so she could get in line to get a photo with the trophy.
"I thought it was worth the risk," Palmer said. "It's amazing what caffeine will do."
The Cubs brought their World Series trophy to their spring complex for a rally on Friday, and Palmer was one of a few fans who stood in line overnight for the chance to get a picture.
