History was made on Wednesday as the Chicago Cubs have not won the World Series since 1908. The Cubs went up against the Cleveland Indians at Progressive Field in game 7 of the World Series. Even an extra-inning and a rain delay did not make the Cubs lose and managed to knock off the Indians in 10 innings, 8-7. We have asked the students at the school on their initial thoughts of how it feels for the Cubs to win.
