(CHICAGO) The Chicago Cubs are returning to the World Series for the first time in 71 years after defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-0 Saturday in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series.
With the final Dodger out, the sell-out crowd of 42,386 began to sing Steve Goodman’s “Go Cubs Go.”
The World Series opens Tuesday in Cleveland, where the Cubs will face off against the Indians.
