CHICAGO -- For the police officer who cried on Ben Zobrist's shoulder, and the endless stream of fans who have said "thank you" to Joe Maddon, and the many who wished their parents or grandparents were alive to see the Cubs win a World Series, Monday night was a chance to celebrate once again.
Rain delayed the ceremony nearly two hours -- which seemed fitting since the Cubs took advantage of a rain delay in Game 7 to regroup and beat the Indians -- but once it stopped, they raised banners to commemorate winning the 2016 National League pennant and the World Series, as well as the 1907 and '08 World Series.
