Chicago Cubs World Series – What else happened 108 years ago

It’s been a very very long time since the Chicago Cubs (-115) not only won, but were in the World Series. 108 years ago they made history by taking out the Detroit Tigers four games to one to take the title. Since then, the summers have been long and depressing in the Windy City for Cub fans. The curse of the Billy Goat set in and the Batman ball curse also added plenty of salt to the wound.

Those days are done though. They are finished and gone with. The Cubbies are back. Before we move on though, let’s look back at how things were 108 years ago, when the Cubs last took the baseball world by storm!
