CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Cubs fans turn their attention to World Series for the first time in 71 years.
Large crowds of people hit the streets outside Wrigley Field Saturday night after the Cubs beat the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 6 of the NL Championship Series to advance to the World Series for the first time since 1945.
A majority of the fans celebrated peacefully, with many taking selfies in front of the stadium. Police say one person was arrested after climbing a traffic pole.
Steve Zucker, who’s been coming to games since the 1940s, said before the game that if the Cubs won, he would go to his father’s grave and leave a Cubs hat and T-shirt.
Chicago faces the Cleveland Indians in Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday.
