The hapless Chicago Cubs have been the brunt of baseball's cruelest trivia question for generations. "How long has it been since the Cubs have won the World Series?" team owner Tom Ricketts asked Friday. Two days, their ecstatic fans said.
Washington (dpa) - The Chicago Cubs were the laughingstock of baseball for decades as their last championship in 1908 faded from living memory into fable.
As Major League Baseball's other ancient dry spells - suffered by the cross-town Chicago White Sox and Boston Red Sox - were broken in the early 2000s, the Cubs' century-long drought became an obscure, painful fact.
Team chairman Tom Ricketts, whose family bought the Cubs in 2009, addressed a sea of fans Friday at the city's victory celebration, following the team's 8-7 win over the Cleveland Indians in Wednesday's deciding seventh game of the World Series, which ended Chicago's drought at 108 years.
