Kris Bryant Ends Cubs' 108-Year Title Drought with Final Out of Game 7

With the weight of Chicago on his shoulders, Cubs star Kris Bryant proved why he deserves to be the 2016 National League MVP.

Nothing rattles him.

The Cubs held a one-run lead over the Cleveland Indians in the bottom of the 10th inning of Game 7 with the game-tying run on base. When a slow grounder was hit toward third base for the potential championship-clinching out, Bryant stayed calm and collected—and he even had a smile on his face when he went to field the ball.

Perhaps some in Chicago felt a play like that would make the 108-year curse kick in. Not this time. Not with this squad.

Bryant fired the ball to first base for the out, setting off a celebration of a lifetime at Progressive Field and in Chicago.
