1. We are The World Series Champions
After 108 years of the longest championship drought in the National League the Cubs crushed the Billy goat curse in 2016. We all watched the series (if you didn’t stop reading this blog and go somewhere else please) and if you’re anything like me you were curled in a ball crying in anxiety during game 7 as we went into 10 innings and a ridiculously times rain delay. But at the end of the night they were tears of joy because the Chicago Cubs are World Champions!
2. The best fans you'll ever find
“Best in the World”, duh the team is named the best in the world BUT the teams fans are also named the best in the world! It’s all about loyalty, a true Cubs fan has never and will never veer away from our beloved team, even defending them throughout the 108 years’ curse. It’s also a family tradition, going to games every summer and passing the love to other generations. Cubs fans are also the fans that have the most fun! Supporting our team is easy when everybody’s having the time of their lives. Most importantly, we never get mad or lose hope, we got this cubbies! And the best fans+ best team= best games. Nobody does a summer outside game party Chicago! The singing of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” is iconic not only because every person is standing and singing their hearts out, raising up beers in cheers, but we also tend to be led by some pretty amazing celebrities.
3. Wrigley Field
Wrigley is one of the only two iconic old- school ballparks in MLB. Wrigley keeps the personality and closeness to the team and the area, with hand- operated scoreboard, adjacent rooftop seats, red brick walls, and ivy- covered fencing. Wrigley was he first venue to allow fans to keep foul balls, proving my theory that Chicago Cubs are the sweetest people.
4. Kris Bryant is a superstar (and babe)
Kris Bryant is the only baseball player to win college player of the year, Minor League player of the year, top rookie, and MVP in four consecutive years. IN 2013, Bryant was awarded the Golden Spike award and the Dick Howser Trophy, both that are awarded to the top collegiate player, Louisville Slugger First Team All- American, and the College Baseball News National Player of the Year after he lead the nation with 31 home runs! In 2014, Bryant received Baseball America’s Minor League Player of the Year. In 2015, Bryant joined the Cubs and won the NL Rookie of the Year and an All- Star selection. In 2016, he was, with no surprise, named the MVP!
5. Bryzzo
Enough said.
