The city of Chicago has never partied like last night since the Chicago Bulls won the NBA championship last century. jeffd, hongtoufa and I were in the thick of it, right in the epicenter of the joy-quake in the south side of Chicago.
After the dominating Bulls, Chicago has never had any team winning anything ever since (in hockey, football, baseball, synchronize swimming, etc). We had two baseball teams in Chicago that haven't won US Major League Baseball ultimate prize, the World Series, since the World War I rage in Europe.
Last night, after 88 years, one of those team, Chicago White Sox, won the World Series.
The three of us were there on location in the Sox Stadium on the south side of Chicago and the night was lit up. People poured down from their houses and apartments to the street, fathers and mothers with their little children were out and danced on the street with their cute white and black striped White Sox uniform, joining the alcohol powered fans that just left the few bars around the stadium with their full White Sox regalias. Cars were streaming out towards the stadium, honking with windows down and their drivers' hands out to high five the fans crowding the street. The cheers matched three U2 stadium concerts combined and could be heard for miles. The game ended around 10 pm and when we left at 1.30, the party had gotten even bigger.
More pictures are forthcoming.

Dody,
Gotta throw in the Chicago Wolves. They're not NHL but they have won a few championships in the past few years.
