Governor Bruce Rauner has announced tomorrow will be proclaimed World Champion Chicago Cubs Day across Illinois in celebration of the Cubs’ historic World Series win over the Cleveland Indians.

 

In a statement, Rauner says “The Cubs winning the World Series is bigger than baseball. It is especially meaningful for the generations of Cubs fans who have stood by this team, through thick and thin, for the last 108 years”. 

 

Rauner noted he's a North Sider who was born a few blocks from Wrigley Field, and I remember watching the Cubs every summer on Channel 9 (WGN).
