Game 7 of the 2016 World Series between the Cubs and Indians had a little bit of everything. There was a leadoff home run from Cubs center fielder Dexter Fowler in the top of the first inning:

There was a wild pitch from Cubs pitcher Jon Lester in the bottom of the fifth inning that led to not one, but two runs to make it 5-3:

There was even a shirtless rallying cry from J.R. Smith and an incredible celebration from LeBron James after the Indians tied the game up at 6 in the bottom of the eighth inning:

Chicago won 8-7 in extra innings to clinch their first World Series win in 108 years. And if you think Cubs fans were ecstatic about clinching a berth in the World Series last month, you should see them now. Here is how they’re reacting to their historic win:
