Your Chicago Madness Champion is…
April 18, 2020
It says a lot about your team when you’re making a deep playoff run, there is not a single person alive who can remember the last time you won a World Series. 108 years is a very long time, and that was how long Cubs fans had been waiting for their team to get back on top in 2016. When Theo Epstein took over as President of Baseball Operations for the Cubs in 2012, he made a promise to end this generation-long drought, and after just five seasons of rebuilding and coming close to reaching the world series, Epstein finally delivered. Given the #1 seed in this bracket for a reason, the moment the Cubs finally ended their drought and curses will be a moment fans will certainly remember for the rest of their lifetime, and the voting certainly reflected that. This moment was the clear favorite from the beginning and won each of its matchups in blowout fashion, defeating the #2 seed, Blackhawks scoring two goals in 17 seconds to win the 2013 Stanley Cup, in the championship round by receiving 71% of your votes.
