The Chicago Cubs have been waiting a long time — 108 years in fact — to celebrate a title at Wrigley Field. And thanks to some inclement weather on Monday, they had to wait a bit longer.
With the Chicago weather putting a damper on their festive mood and the game delayed, the banner-raising celebration was put on hold as well.
But it eventually happened, and was quite the scene.
