In 2016 the Chicago Cubs won the MLB World Series and this overcame the odds of one of the longest World Series droughts. The last time that the Chicago Cubs won the world series was in 1908. It has been 108 years Du they won the their last championship. The Cubs recently ended one of the longest droughts without a championship. Did you know that the timespan when John Adams was in presidency till the time the Cubs won their last World Series Championship was in 107 years, this means that the Cubs drought time span (1908-2016) was still longer by one year.
During the winless Chicago Cubs drought it has been 39,457 days since they won their last championship in 1908. Both TV or radio were not even invented yet in that time, there were also only 46 seen on the American flag at that time. Six years before the Chicago Cubs won their last title (1908) the team was previously known as the Chicago Orphans. The amount of time that was between the Cubs founding and their last world series appearance was 69 years, that almost equilates to the time the Cubs had their last World Series appearance till now (2016) which is 71 years. About 43 men have managed the Chicago Cubs since they last played in the World Series, and ever since then the team has been managed by 58 since their last World Series win.
The Chicago Cubs over the past months in 2016 turned a lot of heads because many thought that the Chicago would never actually take the Championship in 2016 after waiting for 108 years. Over 5 million people came together and celebrated with a parade in their hometown streets! The Yankees have played in 153 World Series games and this is almost a full season since the Cubs last played one. During the 1908 Chicago Cubs season they only used 26 players all season. While in 2016 the Chicago Cubs used 206 pitchers alone and not to mention 20 of their positional players that they also needed. Other Chicago teams won a combined 24 championships Bears (9), Bulls (6), Blackhawks (6), and lastly the White Sox (3). The (NBA) Chicago Bulls were created 58 years after the Chicago Cubs had their last World Series win. The Chicago Cubs will always be remembered for their tough history of losses and challenges but at the end of the day the Chicago Cubs redeemed themselves by winning their historic championship in 2016.
