Chicago Cubs
North Side nine
The Chicago Cubs are a Major League Baseball team based in Chicago, playing in the National League.
The Cubs are known for their historic home, Wrigley Field, and for enduring the longest championship drought in major American professional sports—108 years without a World Series title until their 2016 win.
The Cubs finally broke the curse.
