Cubs scored 8 runs in 10 innings=108

Two movies that state the Cubs win the WS ran 108 minutes each

The Ricketts HQ in Oklahoma is on 108th street.

There are a few more that I forgot.

When I'm stuck in traffic, I like to see if numerical plates are divisible by nine. Short cut is to sum up all the digits, and if that number is divisible by nine, then the plates are. 108...divisible by nine. My fiancee claims I'm on the spectrum. I don't disagree.
