The Cubs are World Series Champions and the biggest sports story in decades topped Sports Illustrated’s ranking of the Most Memorable Sports Moment of the Year.
The Cubs ended the longest title drought in the history of American sports on Nov. 2 in Cleveland. In what was an epic Game 7 of one of the best World Series off all-time, the Cubs took a 6-3 lead into the eighth inning. The Indians tied the game at six in the eighth. After both teams failed to score in the ninth, the game went to the 10th inning of Game 7 tied 6-6.
