So sorry Dodgers. So sorry Cleveland - yes, it's been a long time for you, too. But, the Cubs winning baseball's biggest event is truly amazing. I just wish I wasn't in LA at the moment so I could be with my family and see the parade that happened earlier today.

My family is relatively small and dispersed. Mom, brother, sister and I all live in different states. We texted throughout each game, though, as if we were together. It was quite fun - even though a few of the games were nail biters that we lost. And a couple were just downright slow and sad for a Cubs' fan. The end result, though, and particularly the come back from 3-1 and that last game - epic! Cubs' fans will be talking about this for a long time.

Oddly, it reminds me never to give up hope. It was 108 years since their last World Series win. Here's hoping for a breakthrough for RLS that is the equivalent!

Congratulations to all Cubs fans who must be baseball's most loyal. That was certainly one of the best World Series ever.

It really was - even if you weren't a Cubs' fan!

I was brought up as an Orioles fan and became a naturalized Red Sox fan when I moved to Boston. I loved going to Fenway Park to take in a game. Back in the seventies, I don't even remember who they played in the World Series but Red Sox fans said they won three games to four. They actually lost but the games were so good it almost didn't matter.
