Up from the brink of disaster: The Cubs used to be 9 games under .500, and… …heading into yet another long, hot, summer as a losing team.

• • On 06/29/07 The 2007 Chicago Cubs Miracle became a part of local sports history.
  • On that wild day the Cubs won their seventh game in a row and it was one of the most dramatic victories ever seen in beautiful Wrigley Field.
  • Falling behind 5 - 0 in the first inning would leave most baseball teams unable to come back.
  • Well, 5 - 2 was an improvement
  • 5 - 3 is better…
  • Then 5 - 4 with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning; It looks like another close game where the local favorites come up just one run short.
• • This tale has a very happy ending:
  • Aramis R comes to bat as the Cubs final hope.
  • To simply say he hit a home run to win the game does not begin to describe the way the whole team celebrated the victory.
  • The joyous pack of excited athletes looked like they had just won the World Series.
  • In case you don’t believe me, please, feel free to enjoy a peak at the fun
