When the Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers met in the 2016 National League Championship Series both teams were looking to end a World Series drought. But whereas it was approaching three decades for the Dodgers, the Cubs had waited over one century. One hundred and eight years, to be exact.
After eliminating the Dodgers in six games, the Cubs overcame a 3-1 series deficit against the Cleveland Indians to be crowned World Series champions. The victory parade was among the largest ever seen.
The celebration will resume Monday — and Wednesday — at Wrigley Field.
