Chicago:

It’s the Windy City, the City Of The Big Shoulders, the home of Blues, deep dish pizza and an interminable wait for a baseball championship.  Wait no more Chicago.  For the first time since Teddy Roosevelt used the White House as a Bully Pulpit…for the first since before the Titanic ever sailed, for the first time since before Arizona, New Mexico, Alaska and Hawaii became states…the Cubs are the world champions of Major League Baseball!

So to  Ron Santo, Ernie “Let’s play Two!” Banks, and Billy Williams…to  Don Kessinger, Fergie Jenkins and Jose Cardenal…to Burt Hooten, Larry Bowa and Rick Reuschel…and to Ryne Sandberg, Shawon Dunston and Mark Grace,  it might have come a few years too late, but you and all former Cubbiesscreen-shot-2016-11-04-at-1-11-50-pm are all champions at last!! Congratulations to all!
