You might have heard that the Chicago Cubs ended their little old championship drought and won the World Series last night in what might be the greatest Game 7 in the history of baseball.
Immediately after the game, nearly everyone had their tributes ready to go in the rare instance that the Cubs actually made the impossible possible.
First, the newest This is SportsCenter spot is one of my favorite of all-time because it somehow happens to pay tribute to the Cubs’ World Series win and the Buttfumble in the same amazing commercial.
Immediately after the final out last night during the first commercial break of the postgame, Nike aired this ad that celebrated the Cubs’ win that definitely pulled at the heartstrings. It features a young Cubs fan dreaming of the day all young Cubs fans dreamed of.

And finally, in what may be the coolest of them all, Budweiser aired this classic ad from 1984 featuring the legendary voice of the Cubs, Harry Caray, in the Wrigley Field bleachers. The ad also had a tribute to the 2016 Cubs.
This morning, Budweiser also released this video imagining what it would sounds like with Caray calling the final out of the World Series last night. Goosebumps.

Just a few of the many tributes to the Cubs’ World Series title that none of us thought we’d ever see in our lifetimes.
