CHICAGO -- The Lovable Losers won. Seventy-one years of futility ended Saturday night at Wrigley Field when the Chicago Cubs won the National League Pennant with a 5-0 win over the Los Angles Dodgers. Tens of thousands of Cubs fans celebrated all night long in Wrigleyville -- and all across the world as one of the most popular sports team in America -- finally -- claimed a National League championship. The next challenge: Winning their first World Series since 1908.

Amazingly, they did it by limiting the Dodgers to less than 27 at bats!
