Amazing! After winning the 2016 WS, somehow I still wanted to see this group and the 2003 Cubs win it all, does anyone here feel the same? I know its crazy

No it's not crazy . I almost camped out at Wrigley in 2003. I was sure they would win it all.....

I never lived in Chicago. In 1989, I lived in Brownsville, Tx. I had been a Dodgers fan, because thats who my dad rooted for. But I started watching the Cubs on WGN. I became a fan of Wrigley Field, Harry Carey, Don Zimmer, and the team! I turned 12 that summer.

The mailman lost his job for being off his route and leaving his truck to go after the ball. I wasn't at that game but lived just down Clark. Someone told me years later that he's been rehired but had to work 3rd shift as a sorter.

Thank you for posting this. That was such a fun team to watch. I was 9, and my favorite player was Sandberg. On the Monday of Game Five of the NLCS, I got home from school in Arizona and turned on the TV just in time to see the very last pitch. I cried off and on the rest of the night over the sight of my favorite player making the last out of the series.

I was 11 years old, and was devastated when they lost in the NLCS. With young players like Maddux, Walton, Smith, Berryhill, Williams, and Grace.....I never dreamed this team wouldn’t be competing for the division every year. It was 9 years until they made the playoffs again. I still have the Chicago Tribune the day they won the division.

Ryne Sandberg mentioned in his book "Second to Home" that he savored '89 more than '84 because so many things can prevent you from making another run at it and that you just never know if you'll ever get back. That's why I was glad the Cubs did it in 2016, because it's no given that you'll be there every year. Plus these were the days where 1 out of 6 teams made the playoffs instead of 1 out of 3. Larry Himes dismantling the team didn't help matters either.

I watched every game of this season... I was 15, it was summer, and WGN was one of 13 channels we had on basic cable. Mark Grace would go on to be my favorite player, 17 my favorite number... and then in 93 my local area, Denver, finally got it's own team and along with that we end up with a guy named Todd Helton... who wore 17... because he idolized Mark Grace. Shame how that season ended with only Grace showing up for the NLCS and Will Clarke taking the Giants to the Earthquake series, and the As.

I'm glad they showed the playoffs in detail. Most sports documentaries where the team doesn't win it all show the season up until they lose, then they skim over that part. But even though it wasn't a happy ending, the playoffs were interesting.

My first Cubs game was a night game against Houston in 1989, my dad took my brother and myself, we were 7 years old. I will never forget watching the game against Montreal with Mitch Williams getting the save to seal the division title. I think my folks still have it on VHS somewhere in the basement. It was hard to see things come to an end in the bay area. Just days before the awful earthquake that wound devastate the San Francisco area and postpone the world series.

Greetings from Panamá. I've been a Cub fan from 1984 to 1996. I still remember enjoying those games watching WGN channel 9 available at the local cable network with all those stars at the field . I always dreamed to see that generation play a World Series. They failed to do it at 1984 and 1989 was the great opportunity with a more complete team. It did not happen, but I still followed the Cubs until the last player of that generation.

That season gave me some hope again, after many a typical languish. I like looking back to the time when I actually visited the park. White seemed the dress for days past, but all dressed as individuals. These days, sea a blue. Like they all had to get to a trophy shop, so nobody could mistake they were a Cub fan. You're at the park aren't you? Hammer stock?
