"Cubs Turn Blue for World Series Celebration"
by Article: DPA/Newscom
Jubilant throngs estimated in the millions across the city met the team along a parade route that started at Wrigley Field on the North Side and wound along stretches of the Michigan Avenue shopping district and Lake Shore Drive.
Even the Chicago River, which is dyed green annually for Saint Patrick’s Day, was coloured swimming-pool blue in honour of the Cubs’ team colour.
At the Grant Park rally, where fans started arriving before dawn, the team organist played a few notes with the introduction of every team executive, coach and player to lend some of the Wrigley Field atmosphere, even adding flourishes to punctuate the speakers’ jokes.
