@@jdimpact8454 I dont know if I want my grandfather to see his team win it all cause hes a Dodger fan (Im sorry for your lost but im pretty sure he got the news now :))
The core, as of today, is gone. I have never felt this much pain as a Cubs fan knowing Bryant, Baez, and Rizzo were all traded in less than 24 hours. I’m thankful for the memories that core brought to our franchise.
As a cubs fan, i found watching it a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 20th time... it gets better and better... watching it live gave me so much anxiety. They did it tho! Go Cubs!
As a REDS fan I always looked at Game Six in 1975 as the greatest ever.....not after Game Seven last year - no way. What pressure and with so much at stake...wow, what a game and series!
Charles Urban 2015 the White Sox had the best record with one loss in the playoffs😆😆😆 the goat was asleep in 2016 the Cubs got lucky from the rain delay now the goat is awake...
from a hardcore tribe fan....that series was fricken awesome.....now we have the longest drought...i wanted to win...but yall deserve it...if the tribe ever makes it again...and we dont play the cubs...please root for us...thats all i ask. i am not even sad...because its the cubs....so glad ya won
Lifelong Cubs fan here. If the Indians ever make the series again and it's not against the Cubs, I will be the biggest Indians fan on the planet. Always had a soft spot for you guys. Hope you can end your drought soon too... Just not against the Cubs! :P
I think what I enjoyed most about the postseason run is that nearly every guy on the team came up huge somewhere. Whether it was Bryant and Javy playing like MVPs, Rizzo and Russell catching fire midway through the NLCS, Montero with the grand slam and insurance RBI, Heyward's speech, Schwarber coming through huge in his shocking return, Contreras with clutch RBI, Dex's homers, Ross with the solo shot, Almora with the great base running, Lester, Hendricks, and Jake being aces, Chapman being a shutdown closer, or Zobrist getting the biggest hit in Cubs history. Seemingly every guy on the team had some major moment and came through when the team needed him.
arizz44rules actually yes soccer is big in the us soooooooo the biggest sport in the us that has world wide reach is basketball soccer then baseball football sucks outside the us only a few really care and keep up with it and football it’s self isn’t really the biggest outside the super bowl but it is changing due to how the nfl is getting more scoring but still compared to say the nba who’s ratings just grew and grew it says a lot how basketball is growing to be the second biggest sport in the world due to how easy it is to practice or go out and play casual or on a team it’s the same with soccer it’s something g everyone can do with someone or alone so to say no one cares about soccer is pretty dumb considering the World Cup when it’s played both men and women’s it tops the ratings in sports the us mens team is great but the us womens team are talented
Every time. Hell, I cried for two days after they won it. Every highlight, all the special commercials, especially the Harry Caray commercial, as sure as God made green apples, someday the Cubs will be in the world series.
The Cubs overcame so much. They overcame the curse of the billy goat, a 3-run 9th inning deficit, the Giants even year streak, Kershaw, Kluber, and a 3-1 deficit. I'm a Red Sox fan, but I was so happy to see the Cubs win it all.
As a Yankee fan I must say that this was truly one of the most remarkable World Series runs I’ve ever witnessed. I was rooting for The Cubs the entire postseason! So happy for their fanbase! GO CUBBIES!!
It’s crazy it was 4 years ago, but there’s something that will always feel like yesterday. This: Here’s the 0-1. This is going to be a tough play, Bryant. The Cubs… WIN THE WORLD SERIES
Trcikez CAN no way he had an amizing nlds and then stole home in game one in nlds then what did he do in the World Series nothing I think addy made his name
Yup, it's kinda crazy how they traded all their key players away. I was hoping they'd have another title run together in Chicago, ownership had different ideas. I'm a Mariners fan so nothing seems that crazy anymore lol. Maybe they'll be able to rebuild and get back there!?!
im just getting into baseball and it makes me sad that I missed this teams glory years. I remember watching game 7 as a chicago sports fan but I didn't really understand, you know.
I'll never forget this. I was working at a Barro's Pizza in South Phoenix AZ and the whole kitchen staff was out front with the customers watching the extra innings in game 7 and we all wanted the Cubs to end their streak. Nobody was ordering food; we were all just fixated on the game. Such a magical moment with such a great ending.
Man….you can’t watch this enough times. The amount of amazing things that happened. Things that were improbable. The giants comeback, Miguel Montero going yard, Russell going from ice cold to scolding hot, Travis wood, David Ross homering in his final game off the best reliever in baseball at the time. Schwarber coming back. That’s when you know it’s just your year. And us cubs fans deserved every bit of it
I'm still watching it in 2019 and will continue to the day I die. There is absolutely no better moment for me in Chicago sports. Not the '85 Bears Super Bowl win, not any of the three Blackhawks Stanley Cups, and none of the six Bulls NBA championships (although the last one was the most bittersweet)
Gotta say that as a Dodgers fan I wasn't even angry when the Cubs beat us in the NLCS. I actually felt even more emotions when I saw them finally winning it all in 2016 than when the Dodgers won it in 2020. I went to Chicago last year and took a tour of Wrigley Field, it's such an amazing stadium with so much history.
This title run was the greatest moment of my life and will never be surpassed. I was probably happiest that my dad finally got to see the Cubs win the World Series.
Congratulations to the Chicago Cubs and the Cleveland Indians. They both deserved this championship, but the Cubs edged them out. These are two teams that I can see contending for the World Series championship for the next 5 years. But for now, go nuts Chicago!
It's The Pain Stupid that isn’t true. I’m a die hard cubs fan and I still congratulated my friend who is an Indian fan for at least making it to the ws
Just like the 85 Bears, the 2016 Cubs could have been a dynasty but the Cubs blessed us with a season that could be used as a movie script i love you guys
This is literally the only happy memory I'll have from 2016. My personal life has been in turmoil, I've lost so very much (personally and in other worldly causes I support), and it's been a while since I really felt good about much of anything, but at least I'll always have this wonderful memory. It won't bring back the people I love whom I've lost, or fix any of the other situations, but nevertheless it will always be something special that no one can take away, and I cherish that. Go Cubs go.
more impressive: the calmness and poise he exhibited after the game tying home run....any other pitcher would have folded...and it was all curves, sliders, off speed for the two innings, cuz he knew his fastball was gone. I was astounded at that !
Micah Eamus Catulis I thought that it finally sunk in for me and I still have to stop myself lol. And just think, the Cubs are now gonna be good for at least the next 12 or so years...like kids will never know how bad the Cubs were
It's like the Red Sox now man.... How the younger generation just has no idea how in the world they went as long as they did without a WS after their 3 recent Championships, people are going to look at the Cubs in the same light going forward. It's just crazy.
Thank you for putting this together. It was brilliant the way you added Cubs radio, ESPN radio, and the broadcast audio in there and to set up the finale with the Heyward interview was phenomenal. Truly a great piece of work.
yeah, and it showed how terrible Cub announcer play by play was...terrible at game end, and he makes every homer sound the same, be it at the wall or out of the park: saying "ITS GOT A CHANCE!" when the ball is already out of the park....but check out skip bayless the next day....great commentary!
As a life-long Cubs fan I remember falling to floor in my kitchen in tears when the final out was tallied. I could hear Jack Brickhouse and Harry Caray call the final out, and finally being able to tell my Father it happened. Sadly my Father passed away 01/16/2016, so he wasn't here with me to have see it happen.
It’s so amazing to watch this. Definitely the craziest moment in Cubs history! This will never get old. And even in 2021 I’m still proud looking back on these champs ⚾️
I was at work, watching the game in between patients in our ER. The rain delay hit, I punched out for work and my wife who works in the same hospital asked me to get her a sandwich from McDonald's. I raced to McDonald's, broke every speed limit on the way, got the sandwich and raced back to the hospital lobby TV. the rain delay ended and I watched the last inning. I was so tense and when Bryant threw to first base for the last out I broke down and cried. To this day I still cry a little bit watching the highlights because wanting the Cubs to win the world series has always been categorized as a thought of something like us going to live on Mars. just not going to happen in my lifetime. But it did. I cant wait to go see my grandpa in heaven so we can talk about this moment. Go Cubs!
That was 5 years ago, and still to this day I still get tears up from the happiness that cubs team brought to our cities and families around chicago. Forever a cubs fan 💯
My 1st daughter was born the night of game 5 of the NLCS. My wife and Mother In-Law booted me out of the hospital for game 6 and I watched it at a friend's place. Best 2 weeks of my life.
Even with everything that's recently happened with the roster, I remember that playoff series like it was yesterday. When we got the 3rd out in game 7, I was completely overcome with joy, I shed tears, not even gonna lie. The tears weren't for me, though, they were for my grandmother who got to see it happen... and my closest friend who died from cancer a month prior to that game. Even watching this again today brought tears to my eyes!! Even though our favorites have been traded away, I'm still singing Go Cubs Go! Hey, Chicago, whaddaya say....?
There will never be enough words to describe the emotions I felt when the cubs won the pennant. The World Series was amazing and game 7 was arguably the best game ever played but the fact that the cubs won the pennant at home in front of thousands of fans really had a different feeling.
Without a doubt, the best World Series ever played. Arguably the best playoff run in MLB history. One of the grittiest, fearless, most enduring baseball teams to ever take the field. The summer and fall of 2016 was a fairy tale and it couldn’t of ended any better. We waited a long time for a season like that. Watching this took me back there. To a simpler time. All of our lives have changed so drastically since then. I miss those times. I miss this team. Fly the W
perfect song choice. This is a grad A highlight video brings tears to my eyes just relieving the beauty of this postseason. The Magic of the Chicago Cubs returned and i've never been so happy! GO CUBS GO!
It's still a dream. Still hard to believe at times. I remember all the years I had so much hope just to see them fall short, again and again. this scene is a dream...come true.
Jeremiah Mack They should get him back if anything I thought Jason Heward was going back to st louis. 2015 John Lackey and Jason Heward go to the cubs 2016: Dexter Fowler goes to the Cardinals.As a padres fan this gave me a smile watching you guys win I definitely fell for you guys.
I've lost track of how many times I've watch this video over the years, man I miss this team so damn much. Will never forget the joy it brought 11 year old me.
i come back to this video every once and awhile one of the best years of my life and this video always puts a smile on my face with some tears in my eyes the happiest year of my life watching this team and to see them in a world series was a dream come true one of the best teams the cubs have ever had and i am thankful i was alive to see this and i still remember exactly where i was to this day when i saw bryant field that ground ball and throw it to rizzo i have a plaque that has bryant and rizzo cards on it with them celebrating on the mound after the final out ngl it was a little scary being down 3-1 never lost faith go cubs go!
I will always love this team. Coming to watch this after a disappointing end to this season (i miss this offense)...but still will always be a cub forever. The 2016 was one of the best times of my life, and I’ll never forget it. #everybodyin
I am glad I got to witness what so many missed in their lives. I didn't watch a single game since I watched them lose in spring training and losing every game I watched in person and on tv that year. And with the curses around this team, I didn't watch another game all year. Same with the series. I checked the game cast. That was it. I was in strait tears when they won. I know what this meant to so many heartbroken fans, grandfather's who long passed, the faithful who just hoped and prayed that maybe one day. I also had to cry when they traded all the face of this team in less than 24 hours. I couldn't believe it. I will always be a Cubs fan. My first ever pro game, my two favorite players of all time, and the oy games I attend here in AZ. I will die a Cubs fan, and am thankful for the all those players who gave us what we started to believe may never happen.
I'm still stunned that this happened at all, let alone the dramatic WAY it happened. Down 3-1. Game 7, 10 innings, rain delay.. Injured Kyle Schwarber coming back and arguably being the difference in the series. Just incredible.. Really, I'm more happy for my dad than for myself, as he's 63 and wasn't even alive the last time the Cubs were IN the world series! It still hasn't fully sunk in for ME so I can't imagine what he and other Cub fans 60+ must be feeling.. And as a side note - nothing but respect for Cleveland and their fans. They made this an amazing series and pushed the Juggernaut Cubs to the brink. Never been so nervous watching a sporting event, but it was worth it haha. Hope we meet again in the series!
I still watch this looking at the best year of my life, thanks to everyone who supported the cubs. Being a cubs fan for at least my entire life, watching them win a World Series live staying up till 3 am In the morning, it was worth it. Thank you Heyward for that speech if you didn’t give that they wouldn’t have won that game. Thanks for the memories Chicago!
At 4:35 there’s a montage of the different ways they celebrate the victory. Chapman screaming like a warrior covered in the blood of his vanquished enemies, KB tossing his glove and jumping around like a kid living a dream moment, Maddon way hyped but still keeping as reserved as he could be, Rossy just so happy to be there.
I can say without a doubt that it was one of the greatest World Series I had ever witnessed. I was going through a rough time in life and seeing them win it all honestly helped me through it
Man this still gives me goosebumps. One of the most remarkable postseason run from the Cubs. And them coming back from a 3-1 series deficit to win it all was special. One of the most underrated things was Kris Bryant's base running that whole postseason. Dude really scored runs with smart baserunning
I been waiting 32 years as a 10 year old for this to happen. The Cubs winning the WS is like when people ask that famous question --- where were you when this happen.
