He has even convinced his two little grandchildren to cheer for those Cubbies. They are all doing that now, and are they especially excited, because the Cubs, who haven t won a World Series since 1908, are playing in the World Series now for the first time in 71 years. Whoever wins this 7th game of the 2016 World Series, the Cubs OR the Cleveland Indians, will be THE WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS. If the Cubs win, what a celebration there will be in the City of Chicago.
