Let this remind each and every one of us that -- even if you're down 3-1 & it's been in 108 years -- you can win against all odds.

It wasn't just celebs who got in on the celebration -- even some of the country's most important politicians weighed in on the big win including Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, who was born in Chicago.
"They did it! 108 years later and the drought is finally over. Way to make history," Clinton tweeted.

First Lady Michelle Obama also congratulated her home team, writing, "Go @Cubs, go! Been rooting for you since I was a kid, and so incredibly proud tonight."

Even President Obama, an outspoken Chicago White Sox fan, tweeted that he was "happy to see Wrigley rocking last night."
I'll say it: Holy Cow, @Cubs fans. Even this White Sox fan was happy to see Wrigley rocking last night. #FlyTheW
