Cubs Win 2016 World Series: Highlights, Twitter Reaction to Celebration

The Chicago Cubs won their first World Series since 1908, and it only feels appropriate that they put their dedicated fans through one of the most back-and-forth, stress-inducing baseball games in recent memory.

They prevailed against the Cleveland Indians in Wednesday's Game 7 at Progressive Field to the tune of 8-7 in a 10-inning battle that saw a dramatic game-tying home run off Aroldis Chapman from Cleveland's Rajai Davis in the eighth, a rain delay before the 10th and three combined runs in that extra inning.

Ben Zobrist notched an RBI double in the 10th and earned World Series MVP honors.
