Willson Contreras, ex-Cubs salute Braves' World Series win

On the five-year anniversary of the Cubs winning their first World Series in 108 years, another club ended its championship drought.

The Braves knocked off the Astros in Game 6 of the Fall Classic for their first title in 26 years. After a resurgent second half, Atlanta made an incredible run through October (and into November).

Several familiar faces contributed to that run; former Cubs Joc Pederson, Jorge Soler and Jesse Chavez all came up in key moments for the Braves. Soler was named World Series MVP.

Some of the best reactions to Atlanta winning came from current and ex-Cubs.
