The Cubs last won the World Series in the long-ago year of 1908. During this ong ago time, America was kind of a backwater with the real international action taking place in Europe, among such powers as: the British Empire, the German Empire, and Austria-Hungary, among others.
I think I speak for other Cubs fans when I say there is a palpable sense of non-cursedness this year; somehow that three-digit number 100 makes it seem as though we've served our sentence and done our time. My only worry is that WGN Radio keeps playing that audio clip of Ron Santo yelling, THIS IS THE YEAR! Perhaps you've heard it...
The gauntlet is thrown; its too late not to say it. At this cafepress shop, you can find a t-shirt to match that sentiment:
