| Chicago Cubs win baseball World Series after 108 dry years | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| The Chicago Cubs have won Major League Baseball's World Series, ending the longest title drought in the game. | |
| Manager Joe Maddon's team beat the Cleveland Indians 8-7 in 10 innings to scoop the top prize in world baseball. | |
| The Cubs blew a three-run lead but, with the game tied, came back after a rain delay to clinch the title. | |
| The last time they won was in 1908, 108 years ago, when they defeated the Detroit Tigers 4-1. A curse was placed on the team in 1945. | |
| Bar owner Billy Sianis swore the team would not win the sport's biggest prize after he and his goat were thrown out of a game. |
