FUN FOTO FRIDAY:   OUTTAKES FOR THE WEEK 10/31/16

11/4/2016

 
Isn’t it a refreshing news day?

Something truly amazing has actually preempted the vitriolic presidential campaigns that have dominated the news far too long.
​
On the slim chance you’ve been sequestered all week taking care of your civic duty or stranded on an island in the Pacific bemoaning the lack of cell towers, it behooves me to share the following epic news, courtesy of the front page of yesterday’s Chicago Tribune!

That’s right!  The Chicago Cubs fiiiiiinaaaaaly won the World Series, ending a 71-year National League pennant drought and a 108-year World Series championship drought, both of which are record droughts in Major League Baseball.   

Holy Cow!  They did it Harry!    

It seems only fitting today’s Fun Fotos highlight the Cubs.  I snatched some pictures from the Internet courtesy of Getty Images and added some of the best Cubs catch phrases and quotes from the history of the sport to provide a little humor.

Congratulations to our Chicago friends! We stayed up late for you despite our nagging jet lag sleepiness. Perhaps our mutual friends will come to eat crow.

It's been crazy in Chicago proper for the last 2 days. Over 2 million people showed up for the parade today on Michigan Avenue. It's pretty cool to share in such an historic moment.
