Back in May, my husband (a diehard Cubs fan) went to a game at Wrigley. At that game David Ross crushed a homer in into the bleachers, which my husband nearly caught. The ball actually bounced off his palm and out of reach. In agony and frustration he cursed the skies and ripped off his shirt on national TV.
He made it to the front page of ESPN, the ESPN Instagram account, and a top ten countdown on Sports Center.
Last night he experienced one of the best moments of his life (apart from marrying me of course ;) when he watched the Cubs clinch the NLCS alongside his dad & four brothers. Tears were shed.
We are headed to Chicago this Weekend to stand outside Wrigley and be a part of the World Series excitement for games 3 & 4. (Yeah, we're those kinds of fans). We don't have tickets, because we're not millionaires, but just to be there will be AMAZING!
Help me out by making my husbands day and getting this to the front page. He's a fellow Imgurian & I know he would love it!!
TL:DR My husband enjoyed 15 minutes of fame for getting naked at a Cubs game. Asking for upvotes to put this on the front page & make his day. GO CUBS!

When the Royals played in the WS, we couldn't get tickets, so we partied in the parking lot with a bunch of other fans. Great times.

Don't they realize there's still 4 more games they need to win? I guess as a cards fan, winning the NLCS doesn't mean anything anymore

As a Cardinals fan, the Cubs doing this is killing me. Good for you.

But it won't be bad if the Indians win. It's a win win when its Bad News Bears vs Bad News Bears

Never thought I'd see someone I know from home make the front page. I also never thought this would be my first comment ever either.

"ripped off his shirt" apparently meant "gently removed his shirt"
