World Series win is "storybook" ending for Ross

What happens when the cork pops on a 108-year-old bottle of champagne?

Well, as soon as the throw from Kris Bryant settled into Anthony Rizzo's glove in the bottom of the 10th inning of the damnedest game in the damnedest World Series ... maybe ever, the Chicago Cubs sprang from the visitors dugout to celebrate their 8-7 victory and first World Series title since -- let it breathe -- 1908.

Yes, there were ghosts out there, and millions of long-suffering Cubs fans, but this celebration was about this mostly young team who survived expectations and defied the odds by winning the last three games of the Series.
