So go back 25 years and that's the Jack Morris game 7 win over the Braves where he threw all 10 innings.

It was pretty compelling drama helped by the fact that it was two teams with long droughts that had to come to an end. I'm still not completely convinced the game itself was really any better than the 97 one between the Indians and Marlins. That one also had some pretty insane moments too. Even the 2001 walk off for the Diamondbacks has a slightly more dramatic ending. I think the allure here is that it was two teams who can't win a championship where someone had to win.

Apparently today's celebration in Chicago is estimated to be the 7th largest gathering of people in history.

One of those things does not belong and it is not the Cubs rally. Because that too could be considered a religious experience.
