Gregory Shamus/Getty Images(CLEVELAND) —  The Chicago Cubs defeated the Cleveland Indians 8-7 to win the 2016 World Series Thursday night at Cleveland’s Progressive Field, ending the team’s 108-year drought.

The Cubs last won the World Series in 1908.

Game 7 got off to a good start for the Cubs: Dexter Fowler started off the Cubs strong with a lead-off home run at the top of the first inning, which many long-suffering Cubs fans took as a sign of more good things to come in Game 7 of the World Series.
