Was thinking how great it would be if the crowd gave a standing ovation for each first at-bat from a player that played in the Series. Cheer until the player tips the cap. This should include the first visit by Fowler, Chapman, Wood, etc.

I'm curious what the celebration is going to be like. I assume a ring ceremony, but do they raise a banner? Its just another flag so not sure if there will be some unveiling.

Raise a banner that says Fuck the Cardinals

I still can't believe we won the World Series. I am definitely making a trip back to the old city this upcoming season. I don't care if i get standing room only tickets, I just want to be there to see that banner.

Then again, it'll be bitter cold in April. Maybe I'll plan for a June/July/August visit.

Blast from the past - reminds me of how special winning the World Series is :

Do you believe Jack Kennedy was President of the United States when this game was played!?!? WGN had all the Cubs game in full color starting in 1957. Your mom or dad or grandparents may have been there. If those people only knew it would be another mere 54 years of waiting :)

I wonder what company will sponsor the banner.

I'd imagine President Trump will throw out the 1st pitch to Governor Pete Ricketts.
