After 108 years, seven games, ten innings, and a rain delay, the Cubs have finally won the World Series. The video above was the crowd at Wrigley Field, but the game was in Cleveland. Here's how it ended.

See a longer clip of the on-field celebration here. Notice how quickly Anthony Rizzo secured the ball in his pocket, lest that valuable piece of history be lost.
Despite so long coming, the 2016 win was predicted in a 1993 yearbook and on the TV show Parks & Recreation.

It's easy to identify a longtime Cubs fan today. They can't stop smiling and all their fingernails are gone. They went to the game ready for the outcome.
