Chicago Cubs' World Series Trophy pays Pat Summitt a visit

The Chicago Cubs buried a 108-year curse when they hoisted the sacred Commissioner's Trophy by winning the 2016 World Series over the Cleveland Indians. So, what's a trophy to do after winning the big title?

Why not pay a visit to a coach who knows a thing or two (or eight) about collecting precious hardware -- Pat Summitt.

The Cubs' Double-A affiliate, the Tennessee Smokies, and the World Series trophy paid a visit to the University of Tennessee campus on Friday and, more specifically, to the statue of Summitt that was dedicated in November 2013.
