The 2007 Chicago Cubs Miracle!
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
- (Edit 07/04/07: Exciting video from ESPN is gone, only the text remains)

- This is one of 18 (or more) Reasons Why You Should Never Give Up.
- More to come soon.

I saw the celebration, and it was fun to watch.

I remember that. Not only did Aramis hit that two run blast to win the game, it also continued a trend that many Cubs fans (including myself) have been waiting a long time to see (almost as long as a World Series championship) - this team is starting to gel (come together).
I still think the Cubs got Lou Pinella so the Tribune Co. could command a higher asking price for the team, but I’ll admit he’s starting to bring results to Wrigleyville.
