The Cubs are World Series champs, and everybody got to hang out with the Commissioner's Trophy
In case you woke up in a panic this morning, don't worry: That really happened. The Cubs won the World Series.
There are a whole lot of perks that come with the title of World Series champions. Leaders of the free world want to meet you; celebrities follow your every move; and, of course, there's the eternal adoration of a city that's waited more than a century for this. Then, after all that, you get to say hello to the Commissioner's Trophy -- two feet and 30 pounds of sterling silver and realized dreams.
