Cubs fan drives all day to listen to historic win by his dad’s graveside
The Cubs won the Major League Baseball's best-of-seven final 4-3, ending 107-year title drought.
Sadly his dad passed in 1980 but Williams followed through with their pact and drive the long distance from North Caroline to Indianapolis surburb of Greenwood to listen to the game at his father’s grave.
Cub’s historic victory came only after they squandered a four-run lead and looked ready several times for another heartbreaking stumble.
"This trumps everything. I am so happy," Cubs slugger Kris Bryant said.
"That's one of the best games anyone will ever see."
Ben Zobrist doubled in the go-ahead run in the 10th inning and Miguel Montero added a bases-loaded single for an 8-6 Cubs lead after teams endured a 17-minute rain delay following a 6-6 deadlock in regulation play.
Thousands of fans stayed after the game to cheer and sing "Let's Go Cubbies," even after heavy rains returned to soak them.
