Game 7 certainly lived up to all of the hype and the impossible expectations that come with it. First off, congratulations to the Chicago Cubs for winning its first World Series in 108 years. This was truly one of the best World Series that I can remember watching.

It was fitting that the Cubs came back from 3-1 deficit to break the curse of the billy goat. Like an exorcism of all of the demons of past failures, the comeback really felt like the only way that Chicago winning would feel right.

Then there was Game 7. Quite possibly the best baseball game I have ever watched. It had everything you could possibly want out of a winner-take-all game. You had comebacks, mistakes, clutch hitting, bizarre moments, and it seemed like it would never end. Even though you didn’t think it could end, you almost didn’t want it to.

The rain delay between the 9^th and 10^th innings may go down as the most important one in the history of baseball. Just after the Cubs blow a three-run lead and Cleveland has all of the momentum, Mother Nature stepped in to calm things down.

Joe Maddon seemingly did everything to lose that game, and every decision backfired. He takes out all of the pitchers a little early and the Indians jump all over them for multiple runs. Luckily, David Ross hits a home run to bail out Maddon with the first pitching change.

Once things got to the 10^th and play finally resumed, you almost felt that the Cubs would be in perfect position to pull off the victory. The top of the order was on its way to the plate, including the top two MVP candidates, followed by a guy trying to win his second consecutive World Series.

Of course the Cubs score twice, but leave the bases loaded to end the inning. You almost got the feeling that it wasn’t enough and they had left the door open for Cleveland. Chicago turns to a 25-year old with only one career save to close it out. After quickly getting the first two outs, Cleveland gets a man on and Chicago allows him to steal second. Then, Rajai Davis knocks him in. You could almost hear the collective gasps from Chicago faithful.

Finally though, the Cubs get the final out and win the game. The entire celebration is the reason why baseball is so great. It was pure jubilation from a team and a fanbase that suffered for years and years. All of the different stories and videos online painted were incredible to see. Fans who literally couldn’t believe what they had just seen, and to finally see their team win the big one.

It was lightning in a bottle, we will never see something quite like this again. In a few years I hope you will all remember where you were during Game 7 of Chicago-Cleveland.
