1. The wait is over! The curses of Billy goats, black cats, and Bartman are all a thing of the past as The Chicago cubs win their first World Series since 1908.
Game 7 started in Cleveland, and high drama peaked in the bottom of the eighth inning when the Indians tied the game at 6 with a home run.
It was a nail-biter, with a rain delay and extra innings, but The Cubs ended the longest drought in baseball with a final score of 8-7.
2. If you’re having second thoughts on who you’ve voted for on that absentee ballot, there’s a chance for you to change it.
