An estimated five million people, none of which were alive to see the last Chicago Cubs' championship, took over Grant Park in the Windy City on Friday to celebrate their Cubs' victory over the Cleveland Indians in the World Series. The Cubs won in seven games, beating the Tribe 8-7 in extra innings of Game 7 in Cleveland.
