A sea of “Cubbie blue” washed over Chicago on Nov. 4 for the celebration of the century — honoring the Chicago Cubs first World Series win in 108 years.
The parade and rally was as historic as the championship win itself. “Cubstock 2016,” which Cubs manager Joe Maddon labeled the party at the rally in his speech, was the largest sports celebration ever. It drew in more than 5 million fans from around the world — twice the city’s population — and made the rally the seventh largest human gathering in history.
The three-hour party started with a parade that began at the team’s headquarters Wrigley Field.
