There was not one, but two major victories in last night’s Game 7 World Series finale.
The best Cubs fan reactions to winning the World Series came from the oldest fans
Because 108 years is a really, really long time to be sad.
After 108 years, the Cubs finally (!) broke the curse and became World Series champions. And, just seconds after their Game 7 victory, Chicago’s elderly fans won our hearts.
1. Hazel Nilson: 108 years old
Having lived through every single year of the billy goat’s curse, 108-year-old Hazel Nilson’s prayers were finally answered. She is also possibly the oldest person to ever sport a backwards hat.
2. Clare’s elated grandpa
If this doesn’t make you smile, well, you’re probably an Indians fan.
3. A man and his 32-year-old beer
Despite being about 31 and a half years expired, this Cubs fan’s beer was still oh so sweet.
4. The smiling vet
Be careful: This legendary grandpa/World War II veteran’s victory smile will melt your heart into a puddle of Chicago red and blue.
5. Father and son
Now this Cubs fan right here is a man of his word.
Enjoy it, elderly fans, this one’s for you!
