The Chicago Cubs won their first World Championship since 1908, and people everywhere were turned in to see the historical sporting event.

The Cubs-Indians game seven had an overnight rating of 25.2 while the NBA finals game seven featuring the Cavaliers-Warriors was only 18.9.

I think there will be a few people that will be taking off work throughout Chicago and the rest of the country after watching that epic World Series.
