CHICAGO -- You probably had to be there to really feel it but the word to describe the 2016 Chicago Cubs fan convention this past weekend at the Sheraton Grand Chicago is emotional.
Normally Cubs fans express their love for their favorite team win, lose -- or rain out -- but for three days that love found a new level. Man fans had tears in their eyes as they approached microphones to ask questions of players in packed ballrooms. Some were visibly shaken meeting their heroes barely able to get their questions out. And everyone wanted a signature or selfie or a shout out to a girlfriend.
