It feels like the Chicago Cubs haven’t won the World Series in quite some time… it's because they haven’t.

It’s been 108 years since the Cubs last took the title, and a lot has happened during that time. The world was a different place back in 1908, but one thing that hasn’t changed: the loyalty of Cubs fans (and bandwagoners) across the nation. Here’s a list – by year – of monumental things that have happened since the Cubs last held the title:
