This trophy is extremely special and very rare. It was the first World Series trophy for the Chicago Cubs in my lifetime and first one for the team since 1908.
During my lifetime, the Cubs had only made a few playoff appearances. There was a lot of mediocirty and worse. Then the new regime of Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer took over the team and things started to change. In 2016, it all came toegther as the Cubs beat the Cleveland Indians to win the World Series.
Unfortunately, much like the 1985 Bears, these Cubs only won one title. We thought there would be more, but at least they got one.
In 2018, while seeing Billy Joel at Wrigley Field, I finally got to see the trophy that eluded the Cubs for all these years. I soaked in the moment, because I know it might never happen again in my lifetime.
