The Empire State Building was lit up in red and blue very early Thursday morning as a tribute to the Chicago Cubs.
The Cubs won the World Series in historic fashion, defeating the Cleveland Indians 8-7 in 10 innings. They came back from a 3-1 deficit in the series, but added a supreme dose of drama by blowing a 5-1 lead in Game 7 before winning it all.
In honor of the Cubs winning their first World Series since 1908, the iconic New York skyscraper lit up in Cubs colors:
Congratulations to the @Cubs, champions of the 2016 #WorldSeries! Our lights are now sparkling in red & blue in the team's honor. #FlytheW pic.twitter.com/mVBle6HKXa
