This has been a great week for fans of the Chicago Cubs, and there were plenty to be found Wednesday night at the Getaway Cubbie Bar in Bridgman. The Cub-themed bar and grill was packed as the Cubs won their first World Series since 1908. Getaway owner Tom Ackerman tells WSJM News it was a night of high emotion.

“It was just wall to wall, Cubs fans from 21 to 75,” Ackerman said. “So, it was a great time.”

Ackerman says the mood darkened when game became tied in the 8th, but soon, everyone was cheering again. The win was hard to believe at first, but it’s starting to sink in.

“We’ve all been waiting our whole lifetime for this,” Ackerman said.

Now that baseball season is wrapped up, Ackerman’s planning a victory party for this Saturday. He’s also looking forward to next year, as he thinks the team looks good enough to continue winning.
