After winning back to back World Series in 1907 and 1908, the Chicago Cubs were forced to endure a 108 season World Series drought, until the magical 2016 Cubs defeated the Cleveland Indians in one of the best World Series ever played. Down three games to one, the Cubs rallied again and again to force a deciding seventh game. Game 7 took place at Progressive Field in Cleveland, and began with a leadoff home run by Cubs outfielder Dexter Fowler. The tension in this game only escalated, and with the game tied at 6-6 after the ninth inning a rainstorm caused a 17 minute delay. After play resumed, the Cubs came out swinging, scoring two runs in the top of the tenth to bring the score to 8-6. Although the Indians cut the lead to one in the bottom of the inning it was not enough, as Cubs reliever Mike Montgomery forced Indians batter Michael Martinez into a game ending groundout. With that, the Cubs finally brought a championship back to Wrigleyville.
