Cubs Finally Win the World Series as Told Through Elena Delle Donne Tweets


As a Chicago star in her own right, the Sky’s Elena Delle Donne has become hooked on the Cubs. Needless to say, it’s been a roller coaster of month for EDD with her favorite baseball team competing for its first World Series in 108 years.

On Wednesday night and into Thursday morning, Delle Donne was feeling the anxiety and, eventually, the euphoria of winning a championship along with the rest of Chicago.

She was pumped after Dexter Fowler’s leadoff home run:

… praying for more offense early on:

… ecstatic when the Cubbies built a 5-1 lead:

… disappointed when the Indians rallied back for two runs:

… and happy to see 39-year-old catcher David Ross hit a home run:

Here’s how the end of the classic game played out, from the nerve-wracking late innings to the rain delay and, finally, to a Cubs victory.
