Being a Chicago Cubs fan has been a little like being in Groundhog Day.
Every single year was the same – for 108 of them they just couldn’t win the World Series. It was failure after failure.
But now, finally, the Cubs have got to that bit at the end where they fall in love with Andie MacDowell.
Yes, the Cubs ended their 108-year wait for the biggest title in Major League Baseball on Wednesday night, beating the Cleveland Indians 8-7 to claim the series 4-3 overall.
Better again, they had been 3-1 down in the series.
The Cubs had not won the title since 1908 and had a curse placed on them in 1945 by local bar owner Billy Sianis.
Now, that’s all history.
It happened: @Cubs win World Series. That's change even this South Sider can believe in. Want to come to the White House before I leave?

And Chicago native Bill Murray was on the scene to witness the whole thing – and was tasked by Fox Sports with interviewing Cubs president Theo Epstein in the locker room after the decisive clash.
What follows is a barely comprehensible minute and ten seconds of TV, consisting mainly of Murray and Epstein spraying champagne over each other and flailing around for some words to describe the enormity of the achievement.
THIS IS AMAZING. Bill Murray interviews & celebrates with @Cubs' President Theo Epstein. #WorldSeries https://t.co/VVfUUEbbNb

We also think Daniel Stern – who played Marv in the Home Alone films alongside Joe Pesci – might be a little bit of a Chicago Cubs fan too.
We haven’t seen a grown man weep like this since he got lamped in the face with an iron.
