After the epic Game 7—and some equally massive celebrating—everyone is slowly waking up, wondering if they're living a dream. But it's all true: The Chicago Cubs are the 2016 World Series champions.
Which means no-longer suffering Cubs fans are snatching up hard evidence:

Kudos to the entire Trib team of reporters, photogs and operations to get this on my driveway by 6am this morning. GO CUBS! pic.twitter.com/LiW4755rn9

Of course, my newspapers were gone from my doorstep by the time I woke up. I went to three stores before I found a copy of the Trib.

The last time the Cubs won a World Series, they got one column:

Of course, if there are winners, there are losers as well Cleveland's newspaper initially had "History" as its headline (see gallery above) but went with "Curses" for the morning edition:
